38th World Wide Sketchcrawl!

WORLD WIDE SKETCHCRAWL #38!

The Tallahassee sketchcrawl members meet at the Tallahassee Museum www.tallahasseemuseum.org for sketching frequently. This is a big park-like environment featuring spacious natural habitats for varieties of mostly local wild animals. Many of these wonderful animals have been rescued or are in need of special/medical care provided by expert staff and volunteers. The museum grounds also feature many original historic buildings moved here from other locations including the Princess Murat's home, a church and schoolhouse. Miles of trails punctuated by sculptures take you through natural wetlands . A farm with beautiful domesticated animals is maintained by staff and volunteers. Specialists in costume demonstrate the old ways of life and share their deep historical knowledge. All year we enjoy the various exhibits and activities of the museum galleries, whose professional curators Linda Deaton and Sarah Wagoner have honored us with two exhibits. Thank you, Museum staff!

Most sketchcrawlers made 4 to 8 drawings. They were all so good it was hard to choose one each for this blog. Check for more images as they are added or go to www.sketchcrawl.com and see what people around the world were sketching on the same date we were!
