The Hermitage - Day 49 of 75


While I was taking a photo of St. Luke's Church for yesterday's sketch, I also took a photo of the Hermitage, which is across the street.  It's a very interesting building that started out as a two room house and was added to many times over the years.  It has a lot of dormers, chimneys, windows, and decorative stuff, and is a nightmare to sketch for a perspectively challenged person like myself.  After being very pleased with yesterday's sketch, all I feel with this one is relief that I lived through it.  I struggled mightily.

Sandals - Day 45 of 75

A pair of dressy sandals that I wore for my son's wedding last March.

"Patience", NYC Library Lion - Day 44 of 75

I've wanted to sketch the NYC Library lions for years, and never had the opportunity.  I still haven't, but I sketched "Patience" from a photo instead.
