Suburban Sketching

I have been getting emails from the Urban Sketchers group.  I decided to visit them in action today.  They have monthly gatherings all over the Syracuse area.  Today they set up around the swan ponds in Manlius, New York (Route 92).  Some artists preferred sketching the buildings in the area.  They were only there from 1:30-3:30 PM.

Urban Sketchers is an international organization.  The Central New York branch artists are currently exhibiting  their work at the Baldwinsville Public Library. 33 East Genesee Street
Baldwinsville, NY 13027.  The show runs through October 2024.

If you are interested in joining this group, they have a group page on Facebook.  They’ve posted more pictures of the event there.  So fun!

I was in the neighborhood visiting a friend – before heading home, I decided to stop into the Manlius Library (1 Arkie Albanese Avenue, Manlius, New York 13082) to check out the art exhibit.

Judith Hand has a solo exhibition.  There are forty-six paintings – some from her floral series, pieces I viewed in a show at LeMoyne College.  Others are new sketches/paintings created in and around the Syracuse area, as part of a group called “Urban Sketchers”.  I think I am in this group – I do get their emails but have not actively participated yet.  They meet at various locations (cafes, museums, parks) with their art supplies in tow.
