Ybor City, Florida


I recently traveled to Ybor City, Tampa's historic district. I love the busy-ness of the place — fascinating characters milling about, low-riders cruising narrow streets, bustling cigar shops/cafés, crumbling brick buildings with wrought iron balconies. I sketched and sketched, yet my images were disheartening. I simply need to get out and sketch more often! (Easier said than done.) It's been so long since I've posted here that I thought I should put up at least one image from my recent travels. Okay. Here's another:

  3. Daniel - I love the street scene - love sketches that show quaint streets. Were you at a bar when you made the other sketch? Those people could tell some great stories!
