Weekday Sketchers at Fort Tryon Park
Fort Tryon Park, has a lot to offer sketchers: scenes of the Hudson and GW Bridge, beautiful flower gardens, views of the Cloisters that make it seem as if we are int he French Countryside, to mane a few. The Heather Garden at the Margaret Corbin Gateway is always awash with seasonal flowers. The terraces and lawns that border the Heather Garden will offer river views framed by beautiful old trees. A short walk from the Heather Garden will offer views of the exterior of the Cloisters with its Gothic windows and tower.
