sketchbook -Bacchante- ball-point pen



Feeling very adventurous lately.

I have lived around New York City my whole life and never tried this before:

Decided to take a random train and get off at a random stop.

My spontaneity landed me in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Found many new and unusual sights. In addition to an awesome health food shop which made the most amazing sea moss smoothie.

Upon further exploration I found the Brooklyn Museum. On the top floor I decided to take advantage of a lounge-like area in which resided a marble sculpture entitled Bacchante by Frederick William MacMonnies.

I took about an hour and a half to just meditate on the forms of this work and created this sketch of it.
