Urban Sketchers Tacoma gathered at the Tacoma Art Museum today. As always, I was early and the Museum wasn't open yet. The sculpture and the red wall enticed me. This sculpture of a bear and an eagle is called "Explorers". This is the "old".
Ink and watercolor in pocket Stillman & Birn Beta. (from the website: "Scott Fife’s Explorers delights visitors with two endearing Northwestern creatures—an eaglet and a bear cub—arriving in the “urban wilderness” via raft. Fife is fascinated by how these species are reintroducing themselves into the new Western landscape. Created in Fife’s iconic cardboard technique, made to resemble chain-saw-carved wood, and cast in bronze, Explorers is located outside the main entrance of TAM").
We had a good turn out and Peter D. graciously arranged to allow everyone entrance to the galleries! Thanks, Peter!
We're missing at least two sketchers: Daisy and Peter.
I wanted to see the new Benaroya wing. I found this intriguing sculpture titled "Helmut and Hoist" from 1993 by Italo Scanga. I forgot to ask whether the card had a typo: "Helmut" is a name and the object in the sculpture is a "helmet". This is the "new".

"Leroy, The Big Pup" (created by Northwest artist Scott Fife). He's 10 feet tall and made of archival cardboard, glue, and wood screws. I've sketched him every time I've visited TAM. Today I thought I would try a different point of view. He is placed in different locations around the museum but today he was back in the lobby, affording me a rear view. And this is the "old" also.
