The DC Sketches - November 2017 #5 Navy Memorial

What a DAY!! Went to brunch at Teaism downtown on 8th St, and when I was done I made a hard right out the door, headed for the National Gallery of Art. I only got as far as the Navy Memorial, which was empty of people and bathed in sunshine. It was quiet enough to hear the music of the water flowing over the cascade, and the fountains were sparkling in the sun. I didn’t get any farther for the next hour, just sat, sketched and enjoyed. Someone had left a floral tribute next to the sea bag of the Lone Sailor’s, one of my favorite public bronzes.
