“Kayaking for all” is their motto! They are Community Boating, Inc. (CBI), located on the Charles River Esplanade between the Hatch Shell and the Longfellow Bridge. Most importantly, they are the nation's oldest. If you live in the Back Bay or Beacon Hill, it is a great opportunity to kayak whatever your skills are. This sketch is right front of the building. I was sitting on the bank to breath from my usual walk.
I always walk the edge of the Charles River to relax. In the summer, it is a great path to run and, in the autumn, there is a great opportunity to see the color of Fall. Thanks to the Charles River, people can sail and kayak. At the same time, you can row if you trust your shoulder! I capture this view while walking to MGH. This very quick sketch reminds me very old days in my language school. My friends and I come here and drink -lemonade!
New Icon for the City from the Santiago Calatrava attracts a lot of people in the World Trade Center location. This typical Calatrava art piece serves a terminal station on the PATH. Over all, it is quite expensive -we are talking about 2 billions budget. But, it is certainly precious to see. This quick sketch from inside. At that time, I was with my sister, thanks to her, she kept all my stuff while I was sketching.
I very much like to observe building and always glimpse my neighborhood. This fire escape has pink color, originally. The building has green color. They match actually very smooth. Everytime, I pass by the building and thinking what if it is burned what color fire escape would be. Of course, I hope nothing happens…
The cityscape is going to be altered in Boston. The prudential is one of the the highest buildings- almost 900 feet-, but not anymore, as the one is coming to destroy his fame -I suppose. The one dalton is going to be 700 feet what I heard about. I hope it stands only 700 feet. This sketch is from the Charles River Esplanade at MGH walk bridge looking at the cityscape. It is about calling old bridge as the new one is under construction.
Life is a long series of movies. The beauty of these movies is that you can select the people with whom you want to be and watch the whole scenario that makes you live. You’ll watch a lot of movies. Some of them, not many, are happy-go-lucky American movies, other, more common, are dramatic, unfortunately. But, the theatre has limited spaces. You can not fit everyone into the theater. You have to select them to share your popcorn, right? However, these people could be your friends, besties, dudes, brothers and sisters, and pathetic outsiders. Of course, sometimes, you can fall for impersonal people. But, you can spot them with the usher’s light at the beginning of the movies or during intermission. This is my Cape Cod break, where I saw the light to remove people whom I should not want to be with, even if they do not want be deleted. Sorry, babe, there are no reruns. This was a picture. Later, I sketched it. This is from an airport located on Cape Cod, which really I do not remember, neither the name of the airport nor the people.
Although I sketched their new building on the Mass ave., I figured out that I should draw their corner building. This is the Berklee. Arif Mardin was a student at the school in 1958. Who is he? He is a multiple Grammy-winning producer. Okay, you did not recognize him! He is the man who discover Norah Jones. I think that is enough information to have an idea. Anyway, Berklee College of music trained and is training a great deal of talented people. The sketch is cross the street. Of course, it is from a picture.
