I went to Central Park to meet with Jin and paint.
We were supposed to meet at Conservatory Water at 72nd st so I thought....
But when I arrived, Jin wasn't there.
Turns out she was at Conservatory Garden, up at 110th street!
That's far away!
What to do?
At least we were both on the east side, so i walked up 5th ave and she walked down 5th ave and we met somewhere around 87th street.
I got to walk by the Met. There has been a lot of construction there and it's all done now.

I miss the Met so much.
Jin and I ended up behind the Obelisk (Cleopatra's Needle).
Here is my gouache painting, first page in my new sketchbook!
The obelisk behind the Met is a real Egyptian artifact. It dates from 1600 BC.
We knew storms were coming, so we brought umbrellas.
The storm hit right as we exited the park.
It was so nice though, and Jin walked 29 blocks down 5th ave with me to the train!
That thunderstorm was so refreshing, it was amazing.
I like the way you captured all the different colors of green by obelisk. Nice that you could meet your friend outside even if there was a mix up of meeting place. We need a good thunderstorm here to clear the air.
