Santa Barbara Courthouse Sketch

I had to be downtown and had the luxury of time to kill, so I sat on a stone wall to make this 5 inch wide painting.  I really enjoy the way shadows reflect the blue of the sky on the plaster walls.  It was a bit of a sprint… every 15 minutes, the bell tower would tell me how long I’d been painting and when I needed to get where I was going.  Time flies…
