A Day at Storm King Art Center

It was our first time to visit the Storm King Art Center, an open-air museum that contains perhaps the largest collection of contemporary sculptures located in New Windsor, NY.  We were lucky to have such gorgeous weather on this day.  On the 10:30am first run of the TRAM inside the property, we saw a good portion of the sculptures along the way.  Here's a sketch of the couple on the tram with us,


I did a couple of sketches in color.  The natural beauty all around us was just amazing and any sketch won't do justice to the experience.  In the end, we just soaked it all in.   It was a great feeling.

  1. These are great! I love the sketch of the Buddah. Why is his head on the ground? I'm glad to see that they have a tram...just in case I ever get up there.

    1. Yes, you would love this place. So many sculptures to see in a beautiful setting. The tram loops around every 30 minutes so you can do a "Hop-On, Hop-off" style. Not sure why the Buddha head was buried. We didn't download the app for audio guide and sculpture info but I think it's a good idea to do that for more info.
