My friend Susan T and I had hoped to meet up with one of the groups that usually sketches in Manhattan, but did not find out where they would be in time. So we decided to stay in our local area (Long Island) and sketch at the Planting Fields Aboretum in Oyster Bay. For some reason I can not upload the sketches directly here, but I have provided a link to my blog where I posted them. Please come and visit.

Susan explained how to get the images to show, so you can see them below without going to my blog.

Wonderful work! The colors and subject matter are really great.

My thanks to Susan, who explained to me how to get the images to show here!

Susan and Joan: Super sketches by both of you. Very nice record of the arboretum. I esp. love the fall colors on the trees and the delicate windows and iron fence.

Hi Joan and Suasn;
Thanks for checking our posts. I am waiting for more images from my group. I was at my sister's wedding in Ohio and haven't unpacked down to my sketch book yet, but will photo and post as soon as I catch up my job's work.
Of yours, I liked Susan's Main Greenhouse and Joan's Main Gate the best this time.

Nice drawings with autumn colors... As a French girl full of false ideas about NY, I didn't imagine there were such nice places (looking like an English countryside) in this big city
