Glenwood Cemetery

The Group

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day for a sketchout at historic Glenwood Cemetery. Glenwood is a green, shady retreat right in the middle of the big city.

As you can see from Carlos's sketch in the blog header, angels were the order of the day. And it helps when they have the city skyline behind them. Joel, hard at work in Carlos's other sketch decided that angel was worth a try.

I drew the same angel from a different angle. I liked the angel against the distant crane and the irony of the Service Corp. building.

Chris

Then, of course, there is the famous Glenwood weeping angel.

Fran

Heather found another interesting angel.

Karla drew her sketch in Procreate on her IPAD. You can see the angel on the left behind the large stand of lilies.

But there are more than angels in Glenwood. I drew that same bed of lilies, with a very small Karla hard at work.

Michael liked all the leafy, green, spring foliage.

 We had a throwdown, but  I didn't get a picture. This time, we skipped lunch. Everyone had things to do on such a nice day.
