On Sunday the NYC Urban Sketchers made a visit that was a little closer to me...the town of Oyster Bay. It was quite a ride for those coming from Manhattan or Brooklyn, but we ended up with about 22 people showing up for the day. For me by car it was about a 45 minute ride because it is on the north shore of Long Island. Oyster Bay is the home of Billy Joel and at one time was the residence of President Teddy Roosevelt. This building once housed his office upstairs. Now I'm not sure what is upstairs, but a lovely restaurant called Wild Honey is downstairs. It has been there for a long time.
You did a beautiful job on this, Joan! Great addition of the figure walking his dog. It gives the sketch a sense of scale.
ReplyDeleteCelia, thanks so much. I've seen this building so many times and always wanted to sketch it.
DeleteAmazing job Joan. The turret and all the details really make this sketch super. Like Celia the figure and dog just finish it!! Have a great day friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. I was so happy she came along with a dog.
DeleteAnother super sketch Joan. I love all the detail you put in; like the street sign, garbage bin and the fire escape - so well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Val. Someone called those "street accessories" to the urban sketcher. lol.
DeleteGreat and you put in the flag just for me!
