DOM, Diocese of Monterey, St. Vincent dePaul Church in Davenport, California

 

The church building is standing at the end of the Davenport Avenue in the town of Davenport.  Built from concrete and cement supplied from the Cemex plant just north of the town, the church has stood since 1914 and was also apparently a subject of a photograph by Ansel Adams...have not found the image in my interent search...

post it note sketches unbuilt and a quote from John Singer Sargeant

you can draw and sketch on many surfaces, and sometimes the closest thing within reach will do when you are ready to sketch an idea before it flits away...another sampling of small sketches done on post it notes with red pen... unbuilt...

 

"You can't do sketches enough.  Sketch everything and keep your curiousity fresh."
