Sketching the Bronx Community College Campus April 12, 2014

It was the first day where you could forget the veiled threat of a potential snow storm.  Spring has come to New York City.  The trees are still naked but feel like they're more than ready to spring to life.

The Bronx Community College campus exceeded my expectations.  

It has some wonderful buildings to sketch.

The gem is the Gould Memorial Library with its gorgeous dome and the Hall of Fame of Great Americans that flank the sides and back.  The Hall of Fame is a statue garden with busts of great Americans of the 19th Century.

There was a favorable long view of the library from the deck of the cafeteria, a good place to sketch fellow sketchers and the building.

I went into the library and took a Selfie with the golden dome as the background:
