Conservatory Garden Statue

On Saturday I went into the city to meet the NYC Urban Sketchers in Central Park at the Conservatory Garden at 5th Ave and 105 St. It is a beautiful and well-tended section of the park. We've sketched there before. This formal garden has an English, French, and Italian garden within it. This was painted in the English garden. I was surprised to see that the water lilies were still in bloom...I guess due to the unusually warm weather until recently. I loved the statue and tried to find the title of it but had no success.

Inktober - Day 20 & City Building

I can't believe Inktober is nearly 2/3 gone already. I did another sketch using my handy twig. This was done down by the beach in Sayville.

 Below is another view I did from the Conservatory Garden looking out toward Fifth Ave. The building was just barely peeking out above the trees.

Inktober - Day 19 & Central Park I

Yesterday my plein air group was painting at a farm stand out in Wading River. My painting isn't quite finished so I will post that in the future. When I packed up for the day I grabbed by sketchbook to do my Inktober 19 sketch. One of my artist friends was still working at her easel so I sketched her.

On Sunday 2 friends and I went into the city to Central Park to sketch. We started out at the Conservatory Garden, a formal garden up along 5th Ave and 105 St. It had a lot of pretty views.
