Milwaukee Sketch Club at Expresso Love Coffee 5/4/18

We were going to go to Indian Head Park but it was too wet, so we went to an alternative location.









See http://milwaukeesketchclub.blogspot.com/p/schedules.html page for where we might go next.

Here's some pictures from Indian Head Park. The gate to the swimming beach was closed and locked. It's a little too early for swimming.
