An Afternoon at Stanford

When Jenny Adams, from Hamburg, visited San Francisco, we met up in the middle to sketch. “The middle” is usually Stanford University in Palo Alto. ( Here are a few posts with sketches from the area, often done with a visiting sketcher)

It took me a pretty long time to get this first sketch of Hoover Tower done.

And then almost no time to do this second one of the same view. I’ll do two back-to-back ones sometimes if I’m with someone who is still sketching.

Here are the group’s sketches from this stop.

And then we had 10 minutes in the Papua New Guinea Gardens to finish up our day. So this quick impression of the totem poles happened.

If you don’t know Jenny Adams’ work, you’re in for a treat. I love her mixing of media, sense of color, and composition. Check out her work here.
