Got  in a weekend at Rachel & Bob’s beach house in Michigan. Chicago has been really going thru it and it was necessary to take a break. Between the demonstrations which have seen the torching of police cars and property damage, shootings, the pandemic, loss of employment, the restrictions on public gatherings, the closing of so many restaurants, and the general anxiety increased by truly depressing news cycles, Giamila & I hunkered down in Sawyer for a few days. If you’re going to feel isolated and cut off, you might as well be in a gorgeous environment where you can take off the masks, swim on the clean side of the lake, and go pick blueberries.
 

Drawn on #clairefontaine Stillman & Birn Nova Series Beige and Goldline Watercolour sketchbook with #fabercastell Essentio broad nib fountain pen and Pitt Artist Pens.

 
Took a calming break from the city and parked my arse in my friend’s beach house near Sawyer, Michigan. Top image is Bob’s babe magnet Jeep under a tarp.
 
Sitting at the top of the staircase that used to lead down through a short span of woods to the beach. No longer in use in order to protect the dunes that were planted with sea grass. Due to a rise in lake level and because erosion has been so bad that 20 yards of beach, those dunes bearing the sea grass are also being undermined.

Drawings made using a broad nib Faber-Castell Essentio Black Leather fountain pen, DeAtramentis Document Black Ink, Pitt Artist Pens, Albrecht Dürer Watercolour Markers on Clairefontaine Goldline Watercolour sketchbook (top) and Stillman & Birn Gamma Series sketchbook.
