We've received the royal treatment here in Detroit. Our gracious hosts, Angela and Jason have let us into their home all week and given us an excellent place to work on their front porch during the night-time hours. Tuesday was our first day in Motown and we were given a thorough tour of Detroit and the surrounding neighborhoods. From the classics, like the old train station and the Packard plant, to the city-within-a-city of Hamtramck, we've found a few great set-ups for plein-air painting. Tuesday evening also entailed a sailboat ride out on St. Clair lake, which had a fantastic view of Detroit on one side and Canada on the other.
If you find yourself in D-town anytime soon be sure to have a drink and catch a show at "The Majestic" in the downtown area near Mack and Woodward (cross-streets) They have a great line-up of bands coming into town over the next couple months and we're sorry to have missed them. There is also an amazingly-designed Bowling alley and cafe downstairs as part of the venue.
Our A.M. sessions have been spent inside the Packard car factory....3.5 million square feet of decaying rubble. We were able to grab a few shots from the rooftop of one of the buildings. One more day to go and then off to Indiana!
