Summer in MA - Part 1

I just got back to NYC after five weeks in Pittsfield, MA! Now I'm going to be catching up on some blogging. A couple weeks ago, one of my painters and I went to Lake Onota on a day off. It's one of my favorite places in Pittsfield, both to visit and to sketch! I started with a few sketches of the beautiful surroundings.

The last one I did of my friend, which was tough because she was also sketching and kept moving. When she saw the sketch she went "wait, where is that?" and started looking around. I responded "...it's you." And we laughed; she had thought it was a marigold.
