Green-wood Cemetery


This first sketch was at the entrance. An overwelmining building to sketch!


 
The back of the chapel.


I did this quick 15 minute sketch in front of the chapel, looking up at the hill, but splashed some color on at home to make it more readable.

 
 


Lunchtime at a German beer garden in a converted auto repair shop. Our visitors from Germany didn't think it was like anything at home! A good time was had by all. I sketched my fellow sketchers , which are so much lovelier in person.



After lunch we went back and I completed a sketch of an angel, and included a few Autumn leaves from the site.






Food and a few beers makes for a happy group!


On our walk back after lunch, we passed this fabulous painting on a garage door, and some real "location sketching" on the sidewalk, in chalk, in front of it.

  1. Love the ink and wash sketches, but especially the lunch portrait -- really great lines.

  2. Love the angel especially, and then the front gate also especially, and the lunch people also especially. Hmm. Its not a problem - I can love them all. Great photographs. I didn't notice you flitting around.
