I sat on the back porch and knocked out this 2 page drawing of some of the most turbulent skies I’ve seen over Chicago. Those little blue grey buildings just visible above the trees on the left page are the tallest buildings in Chicago. The tallest being the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) some 6 miles from my apartment.
Even though I thing Lake Michigan is magnificent, I rarely draw it. But the day of the 4th of July was hot and brilliant so I strode out and parked my ass on the Hollywood beach jetty and banged out a sketch of some beach revelers just in time to avoid a really nasty sunburn.
Happy Birthday….
