The Flat Iron Building

I was two hours early in the city last Friday for a dinner with a dear friend.  The restaurant choice was nearby the Madison Square Park area.  Naturally, I used the down time to pick a perfect spot to sketch this famous landmark building.  Sat on one of the many protective granite rocks lining the perimeter perfectly situated to do my sketch of the Flat Iron Building.  See a short video clip at the end of this post.   

 Also, while on the same subject, I'm including a couple of sketches from last year's USK outing hosted by Elaine and Ben.

      Thank you, Joan. It often bogs me down but I'm a stickler for details. Thanks for dropping by.
