I headed to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park to sketch’s some sculptures on a Sunday afternoon.

My first destination was the sculpture garden at the de Young Museum. I was going to do a twofer sketch from my sketching bench perspective.

The two pieces that I added to my sketchbook were the 21 foot tall Corridor Pin, Blue (1999) by Claes Oldenburg and in the foreground, Henry Moore’s Working Model for Sheep Piece (1971).

My next piece of public art was to found along The Golden Mile Project along the JFK Promenade just to the north of the de Young Museum.

This roadway in the park has been closed to auto traffic and the road surface is painted with 12 murals produce by a group called Paint the Void.

Near the Rose Garden a life sized wooden humpback whale tail breached the roadway. This piece is called Street Whale. I perched on a bike rack and sketched the piece on the left side of my spread.
