with a couple of passenger portraits on the bart train i settled atop a high concrete planter to draw my assistant jonathan here seated by some papyrus rushes and drawing a local tai chi group this time it was a park official who asked me to move but fortunately i was about done with that part of the drawing and so moved on to add the side of the metreon building many people come to relax on the grassy steps on the mission street side of the park facing st patrick s church and the marriott hotel i ve drawn these two buildings from a similar vantage before but this time i combined both sides
