Chicago's Chagall Oasis


Chase Plaza, Chicago
It was a beautiful day in Chicago today. I sat in Chase Plaza with a couple of other Chicago Urban Sketchers and was taken by the color and texture of the garden. It almost over powered the Chagall mural. You can see a hint of it here, peaking out among the trees. The plaza is a beautiful oasis in a bustling city.


Of course, I can't sketch the city without a few quick reminders of the endless cast of characters that add so much to the city's story.

    I so enjoy seeing Chicago through your eyes... quite different from how the media portrays your city. Go Cubs :-)

      Thanks Elaine! Chicago has many faces and neighborhoods. I think we have to acknowledge it all but I and the media tend to focus on different things. LOL I guess you already knew that!
