Gritty-Urban Sketching Long Island City Style...

WOW! Last Saturday Urban Sketchers met graffiti artists at the Long Island City Art Studio Open House. In short, there was art, sketching, urbanites and happy people all around.

Sketches from Jane Alexander's Surveys (from the Cape of Good Hope) exhibit. I found the work and setting powerful and moving. Regardless of the context or artist's intent the sculptures themselves were delicate and forceful expressions of pain, injustice, patience, cruelty and grace.
