Art Center Sketch

This is a sketch of the Des Moines Art Center, from the northeast. Last Saturday many of our sketch group stayed at Greenwood Park, which is home of the Art Center. Architectural subjects are an interest of mine, and I've done a number of views of the buildings, mostly from the rose garden and other southern spots. 

"Des Moines Art Center," wc/ink on paper, ~13x5

You can see the Richard Meier building on the right side and the Saarinen building to the left. The latter was completed in 1948 and the Meier in the 1980s. I like the contrast and the seeming zoom of sidewalk into the center.
