<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We drove thru the Florida Everglades and snapped some photos of the local fauna. Below are a couple of simple watercolors I did in my Strathmore watercolor journal (5.5x8.5 inch; 140 lbs paper). I tried out a new technique to try and improve my color mixing. </span><br />

We started at the restored train station and surroundings for the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad and after lunch continued down to the Delaware River for views of Lambertville. And just before the rain arrived we had a guided tour of recently installed sculptures given by Colleen Pritchard of New Hope Arts.<br />
<br />
We discussed future outings for this fall. Possible sites: Asbury Park and Rutgers Gardens in New Brunswick. Can we hear from members about these choices (or others) and volunteers to help organize the events? Look forward to seeing more of you this fall.<br />

Please offer your thoughts.Please offer your thoughts for possible places for sketch events this summer. I'd like to suggest the weekend of July 16 or 17. Potential locations: Asbury Park/Ocean Grove, Newark River Park, Basking Ridge. Please offer other places--historic towns, parks, gardens, architecture--that you'd be interested in visiting.<br />
<br />
Please hold the weekend of August 13-14 for a sketch day in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Known for decades as an artists community, New Hope sits on the Delaware River just opposite Lambertville, New Jersey. The sketch event will be part of the August Arts Festival sponsored by Artsbridge Arts Group (www.artsbridgeonline.com). New Hope offers views of the river and historic canal and towpath, shops, galleries and restaurants, New Hope and Ivyland Railroad. We can finish the day at the centrally located Triumph Brewery. More details to come.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09579580015354621990noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92634019925070382.post-49702930986964079412016-06-29T18:29:00.000-07:002016-06-29T18:29:05.682-07:00May Sketch Day with Landscape Architects. Plans for Summer Sketch Events.New Jersey Urban Sketchers joined the New Jersey Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects for a tour and sketch day at Grounds for Sculpture Park in Hamilton, NJ. After a full morning walking tour with the original designer of the park we stopped for a box lunch at the park's outdoor courtyard garden. In the afternoon, we went back to a couple of intimate garden rooms to sketch and paint some of the garden pieces before the rains came.<br />

I'll save sketching the barns, animals and other demonstrations for another visit.<br />
<br />
Sheep Shearing at Howell Living History Farm in Lambertville New Jersey is always a special time of year. In spite of the dark grey skies and occasional rain yesterday, it was a perfect day for sheep shearing demonstrations and sheep herding by collies.<br />
<br />
Visits to Mercer County Parks Howell Living History Farm offers a slice of farm life as it was in Pleasant Valley in 1910. About 48 Saturdays in the year offer sketching opportunities in the field with live animals, farmers, and many visiting families in a relaxed, peaceful, atmosphere.<br />

"<b>The garden is hidden.</b> You enter through the house, where you first glimpse the landscape, a sunny glade in the woods, through a wall of large windows. Featuring many large perennials and grasses that evoke an "Alice in Wonderland" feeling (many plants are taller than you), the garden is in the tradition of such “new perennial” designers as <a href="http://oudolf.com/">Piet Oudolf.</a> Visitors have described it as a highly emotional garden. Plantings emphasize structure, shape, and form as much as flower."</div>

"<b>Begun as an experiment </b>to explore the potential for working in unimproved, heavy clay, the garden is ecologically like a wet prairie, and is maintained by cutting and burning in late winter. Flowers and butterflies peak in mid-July, then a second peak occurs in October when low sunlight strikes fire in the blousy russets and golds of the grasses. Two small ponds attract hundreds of frogs, insects and wildlife." <br />

The garden was recently featured in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/17/garden/the-good-for-nothing-garden.html?_r=1">New York Times,</a> Horticulture magazine, and the book, Gardens of the Garden State.<br />

I have not painted in a while and this was done without photo reference, visual reference or under drawing. I just. . .painted, thinking about the storm. I love using Daniel Smith deep apatite blue for dark stormy skies. It is such a neat and powerful color.</span><br />

In 1777, This is where General George Washington watched the troop movement of General William Howe in New Brunswick. The high ground of this natural rock outcropping provides an unobstructed view of over 30 miles. You can still see NY City today. I thought about painting the vista, but looking up at the stone wall was more interesting.</span><br />

Lots of great opportunities and settings for sketching-the river, the canal, cafe, historic buildings, and people visiting and walking by. Some of us then went on to check out the Artsbridge and Watercolor shows at Prallsville Mill in Stockton. <br />
<br />
Thanks Jeff for organizing and the leading the charge! I am posting some images of our sketches-these are just some of the creations. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will drive a couple miles north for lunch at Prallsville Mills and continue sketching for the afternoon: preserved grain mill buildings, art galleries, railroad trail, canal and views of the Delaware River.</span><br />

I am an art educator and artist. Here is a sketch I did over the weekend at Rockn Joe Coffeehouse in Millburn. It's a great place to sit and draw. They never rush you and the coffee is great!<br />
