Cheetahs

You know, you can live in a place forever, and you can be crazy-long-term-familiar with a place, and still never put 2 and 2 together.

I never realized it, I made assumptions and never knew.

The Museum of Natural History does not care one bit about painting in the museum!!
The guard checked my backpack, saw all the art supplies, and said, "Have fun"!

Unlike certain other institutions... like The Met.........

In hindsight I suppose it makes sense as AMNH is so child-friendly.....

So today I went out with the NYC Urban Sketchers.
I usually don't.
Blame it on the rain, if it wasn't raining I would have been off painting alone in Central Park.

Gouache in sketchbook, 2 hours.
My setup was great! I knew it would be dark so I brought my small light.

I'm going back tomorrow.
