went to Caffe Vita this morning with my computer and my sketchbook, I intended on processing more of my photos from our vacation to the east coast but got caught up in the view instead

for the third year in a row we reserved the kitchen/theater in our building and had The Orphan Annie Christmas gathering. Pretty quiet day so I made time to sketch the spread.

took my sketchbook to the Elysian on Christmas Eve, they were not serving food but the bar was busy

attended the December Urban Sketch meet at EMP last Sunday, lots of odd lines and vibrant colors at this space. I did not have any issues with security but witnessed a bit of that going on from my airy perch, not such a friendly place to draw.

Last Saturday we attended Gina's company party in downtown Seattle. The event includes a night's stay at The Mayflower Hotel, we always get a room on this side of the building which I love because of the view I get of Macy's Christmas displays from above.

On our last night in NY we were treated to a night out on the Lower East Side Manhattan to see a girl band at The Living Room...pretty outstanding evening!

The apartment we stayed in when we returned to NY was located in Brooklyn. Looking out the back window of this third floor NY walkup provided a rare glimpse into some super urban backyards. A lot of things were fascinating to me about this backyard_the close proximity of the apartments, no side windows in these spaces, there was a huge amount of trees and foliage and four legged activity from cats and fat squirrels.
