Illustration: “U.S. Capitol,” Watercolor and pen-and-ink on Arches CP paper approx 14″ x 9″ by Black Elephant Blog author (2018)
In July, tourists of many nationalities visit Washington, D.C. On a short walk, one can hear Polish, Spanish, Chinese and other languages. The nation’s capitol is a visitor-friendly place, with lots of sights within easy walking distance of each other, great restaurants, and good transportation. Plus, lately, the weather’s been great too, making it fun for locals to join in the admiration of this beautiful city. On such an outing today, I encountered a few very forward squirrels, who apparently wanted a closer look to make sure my paints were not edible.
