The Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens

Weekends only, from 10:00AM - 4:00PM, the Sculpture Gardens at PepsiCo World Headquarters in Purchase, Harrison, NY is open to the public.  I had the opportunity to visit last Sunday.

Equipped with a map of the landscape, I looked at a few of the 45 interesting sculptures.  Near the Lily Pond, there's a nice view of the "Triad" by Arnaldo Pomodoro, the "Grizzly Bear" by David Wynne and "Hats Off" by Alexander Calder in the distance.  That caught my attention for a direct to watercolor sketch.  Too bad, I only had an hour to spare at this beautiful and serene place.  Until next time!

      It truly is wonderful there. I think it's a fantastic place to visit in the fall season. Great for photographs and sketches alike :-). Thanks for visiting, Joan!
