The DC Sketches - November 2017 #2 - Monument Sunset

Gracie and I went to the out-of town preview performance of Tina Fey's "Mean Girls" at the National Theater in downtown DC. Buzzing along on 14th St. in our Uber, crossing the Mall, I happened to glance over at one of the most beautiful sunset skies I've ever seen - stripes of red and yellow against cobalt blue, with the Monument in silhouette against them. I nearly had an attack trying to get a photo to sketch from, and it was pretty much a fail. Gracie thought I was nuts, but I got enough to sketch this from photo and memory.
