Spring Break at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello

Monticello's garden entrance that we see so often on the back of a nickel.

Here are the side of the house dependencies: 

the kitchen, smokehouse, etc. 

The side board walk over the stables and laundry at Monticello. 

Looks out onto the sun dial that really works!

February 2016 Sketch Outing

Join us for our monthly sketch outing on Saturday, February 27th, 2016 from noon to 2pm at the Women's International Air & Space Museum at Burke Lakefront Airport.  It is located at 1501 North Marginal Road, Cleveland, OH.  There is a paid lot in front of the airport.  If the weather is really cold, I would suggest paying for parking as the nearest free parking is going to be on Lakeside (east side of East 9th).  Admission to the museum is free. 

We do have permission to sketch in the museum, but please be respectful of other visitors and travelers making their way through the museum and airport.  Stools should be fine, but please leave paint and bottles of ink at home. 

A reminder that we did move the sketch outing to Saturday which does open up more indoor venues for us. 

If you have any questions or comments, please leave a note on this posting or on our Facebook page.

Cleveland Skyline from the Cuyahoga River

Sketches from Windows on the River overlooking the Cuyahoga. Great to be back at Windows, wonderful memories of my daughter's wedding. Tried something new...black & white Prismacolor on mid-tone colored paper.

View of the Cuyahoga River from the 32nd floor of the Terminal Tower.

Franklin Castle in Ohio City

From our sketch outing at the end of August. Thought I'd try a bit of day and night for a spooky effect. The stone masons did an amazing job with loads of ornamentation on this building.
