Savannah Part I

Our virtual destination for the NYC Urban Sketchers today was Savannah. Jerry and I had visited Savannah quite a while ago, but I do remember certain locations. Savannah is filled with beautiful squares and parks. I wanted to sketch one with a fountain I remembered seeing, so I Googled the squares and looked at the images until I found Forsyth Square. This striking white fountain with the water spraying out looks lovely from whatever direction you approach it. Forsyth Park fountain is one of Savannah's most well-known icons. It happens to be one of the most photographed places in Savannah and is quite often the location for proposals, engagement photo shoots and weddings. I does look so romantic!

Suffolk County Farm Sketches

I made a trip to the Suffolk County Farm the other day. It is a good time of year to go because many baby animals are born around now.

First I sketched the cows who usually stay put while they are eating, but once they are finished have no loyalty to the artist sketching them. lol

Next I went over to sketch the sheep who were all clustered together by the shed. There was one baby included in the group.

The peacock had his feathers spread when I sat down, but that didn't last for long. Most of the feathers I had to do by memory.

Inside there were some baby goats that were just one day old. Mama goat was ignoring them for the most part, until I almost finished the sketch. Then she decided it was feeding time.
