This Old Sketch Pad

Found this old pad with some
drawings in it. One was from a trip I made to
the Cloisters, years ago. A building can be seen
across the Hudson River at that location. It is
on part of the 700 acres that Rockefeller
donated so that the view from this museum would
remain unsullied. It is a pretty sight. The pad
is small and an odd format as it is a section of
a larger sketch pad I cut off with a shop knife.
I think I used a white grease pencil with Prisma
pencils for the color. As it turns out, I like
this museum a lot. Last year, while on one of my
visits, I got this shot with my snappy. It was
taken about a quarter of a mile north and at a
slightly higher elevation to where I made the
sketch 17 years earlier.
