Our summer began with a trip to New York City. Having loved ones in Manhattan and New Jersey provides special family memories in addition to all the magnificent city provides. The watercolor sketch above shows a reflection of the San Remo Building into the Central Park Boat Pond.
Here are more sketches from the trip:
These sketches include Central Park images from the model boat pond, a view of the Carlisle looking up Madison Avenue and a Skyline view of Downtown Manhattan as seen from the Hudson River.
We stayed at the lovely and historic Carlisle Hotel where our corner room on the 19th floor gave us rooftop views to the north and a peek at central park to the west. We enjoyed music at the charming Bemelman’s Bar most evenings. Days were spent walking, people watching in Central Park and enjoying art museums. Somehow most of our walking routes took us right by the Madison LaDuree macaron shop … always a good plan.
