Farmers Market, Ferry Plaza SF


Finally remembered to replenish my (unfiltered) honey stock this Saturday! And...I just realized I forgot the colour in the cute Corgi standing beside the second tent from the right lol

Kearny at Columbus, San Francisco


From the all too colourful and interesting Columbus Avenue. Was sent out as a postcard. Glad that it made it all the way to Singapore!

SF City Hall


Extra windy at the San Francisco City Hall! (which made talking on the phone almost impossible) Nice Giants banner!

Pyramid Alehouse, Berkeley


Went for another Thursday night sketching with the Bay Area Urban Sketchers. I was the only one who braved the chilly night outside (need to keep watch over my bike), which wasn't bad at all since I had my bike helmet on. But there was some people idling around on the other side of the street...with hard metal music thundering through...that was interesting. But for the palm trees outside, it's all worth it!


There was no one on the 2nd floor, so I took a sneak peak into the kitchen from above :P

SF Fleet Week - HMS Calgary


A Canadian ship docking at San Francisco's piers! Stirring up all my patriotic feelings! Beautiful weather too!

Queue for the tour of the ship

Nightfall at Fentons Creamery


First time sketching in the new sketchbook I sew together! And first time drawing on professional 140lb paper! (hence the shaky brushstrokes lol) This is the view across from Fentons creamery. The sun was still visible when I coloured the church on the left, but it was completely dark when I got to the right. (my ice-cream totally melted when I was too absorbed in the drawing...)

This time looking towards the creamery when standing in front of the church! First attempt in capturing a night scene in colour! (definitely needs a lot of work!)

Point Reyes


I remember seeing a photo a friend took of this stunning view, and this past Sunday was the perfect time to visit! Got to the entrance just before 4, just got enough time to get a quick stamp (always my main objective!), have a friendly chat with the NPS staff at the visiter centre, quickly finish an ink sketch from the overlooking platform, before dashing downhill to see the lighthouse before it closes at 4:30!  (on the right is the much weathered fog signal building.) Love the colour of the roofs!
