Summer in the City



Every summer I'm delighted all over again by the incongruous palm trees on Oak Street Beach!
We had a wonderful Fourth of July, sitting under those palm trees with family in Chicago, enjoying the beach, a delicious picnic and fireworks.

I hope your day was as happy and safe.

  4. You know, I have such a bad habit when commenting of hitting enter without waiting to see if I entered the word verification correctly, that I think a lot of my comments never get posted. Because I really feel like I commented on this already! (This happens to me a lot...not seeing my comments. So, I'm pretty sure it is just me!)

    I think these are both wonderful sketches. They look so natural and loose. Almost effortless. I'd like to get to where you are!
