I'm a real wimp when it comes to sketching in cold weather, so the move from Texas back to the Rocky Mountains has been tough on me. Fortunately, it has been mild enough in Denver this winter for me to venture out a few times and do some sketching.
Shops along Broadway in the Baker neighborhood.
This is just down the street from where I live. This building is boarded up and empty, but it looks like it's in good shape to me.
Some great, ornate buildings surround Union Station in downtown Denver.

nice to see your new work--and the unique buildings in Denver area.
Great detail.
I like the character of your sketches. I am from Dallas, but know two of the areas that your sketches are from (Baker and Highland hoods)
Love Pasquini's Pizzeria around the corner on 32nd Street. Your sketches make me want to be there.
Glad to see your new work! Thanks for returning to Urban Sketchers.
