The Capitol

The Capitol, from the U.S. Botanic Gardens.  I went in to the District to see the Roy Lichtenstein Retrospective at the National Gallery, and felt motivated to walk around a bit afterwards to see if I could find something to sketch.  While I was sketching I met an Italian painter who was here on vacation, and had arrived in New York just in time for the hurricane.  Not the best introduction to our country - but he sounded like he was having a good time anyway.  He showed me some of his own sketches as well, which were quite good.
