San Francisco has always been a favorite spot...yet I had never really taken my own solo trip up there, in which I could take the time to pause, soak in the surroundings, and experience this wonderful city at my own leisure. So...recently, I decided to do just that :) The weekend flew by so quickly – but I was able to enjoy quality time with some close friends in the area, cruise around old haunts, see new sights, treat myself to some local delicacies, and find a renewed perspective of this place – and of myself (I actually survived the perils of parallel parking in the city).
I also managed to squeeze in a few quick sketches too...here they are below. Some color was added at home:
Till next time, San Fran! :)

Wow. What a great trip idea, Vivian. I'm glad you flew up there and enjoyed yourself and SF. These are wonderful sketches/paintings. Your work is always a pleasure to see.
Also, I'm lovin' the gesture sketches. But I always love the gestural quality of your figure drawing. Hope you feel like you're gettin' better with the class. I cannot tell because I thought you were awesome in the first place!
Have fun, my friend!
