Sketching the NY Public Library

The rain made it a perfect day to be indoors, and the library was a wonderful place to for sketching.

The day started with breakfast at the Port Authority sketching the room as I ate.

I loved sketching in the reading room.  People sit still and pose for you, hardly moving at all.
