| Pen&ink and watercolor on HP 7 in x 7 in |
We went to the MOCA, Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Jacksonville, located in the corner of Ocean St and Duval St. The museum is ok, with small diversified collections. The museum extends its collection outdoors across the street to a square park. Here is where you find that face with an open mouth that seems to swallow tourists.
We were disappointed that the streets in downtown were empty, it felt a little bit eerie, perhaps due to the fact that it was weekend. We saw two, perhaps three persons on the streets. Quite strange for a big city. We arrived at open time and little by little people started to arrive to the museum.
Once outside, I found a view of Duval St looking towards East that I could draw later. The building on the sketch reads City Hall and have tall palm trees and one can see the towers of two churches in the background. I could add the post lamps but the drawing was getting to busy, as busy as this sketch is, I’m glad I did a drawing of the area we visited.
