Pelham's Shops

Pelham has some interesting shops. I was attracted to the florist on the corner with its flowers and bridal gown in the window. Next to it was a sort of deli that was interesting too. I love awnings on buildings...how about you?

Pelham Tower

This clock tower is one of the things we all sketched while we were in Pelham. One of the people who lived in the house to my right came over to check what we were doing. He told me that until a few weeks ago the clock was missing its hands...so I guess we timed our visit well. There were so many lovely buildings with the rock walls like this. 

Pelham Doorway

On Saturday the NYC Urban Sketchers ventured out north of the city a bit to the town of Pelham in Westchester County. It was a nice place to sketch with buildings that had a lot of brickwork and arches. I picked this apartment building entrance because on my side of the street there was an area where nobody could park. However that didn't stop cars from parking directly in front of the building across the street. lol I quickly sketched the lady who was waiting for her ride to take her shopping. I didn't think she would be there for long, but she surprised me...her ride must have been running late.
