Milwaukee Sketch Club at Vernon Farm


It was a bit chilly today (about 3 degrees F) but we were toasty in our cars. One of our members got permission from the owner to paint this very interesting barn. The sky was very blue, the light and shadows very interesting but they moved very fast as our days our very short right now.

Next Plein Air Outing on Thursday at about 2:30pm is in downtown Waukesha near the farmers market.
