On Saturday the NYC Urban Sketchers met at Trinity Church in downtown Manhattan. The church has a prominent position in the Wall Street area. Presently parts of it are being renovated but the spire called to me. It was a challenge to sketch...even to just find a spot where you could see it comfortably enough to draw it.
There is a large cemetery in the back with some very old tombstones. The church has been rebuilt on the same spot several times in it's 200 year history.

These are really nice, Joan, and I like the people you introduced in your second painting for a sense of scale. That was one gorgeous day, Saturday, with nary a cloud in the sky!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mel. It was a really nice day. We missed you.
