Illustration Friday Tranquility


I don't know why this drawing tickles me...maybe its the goofy perspective....but I had alot of fun doing this one.
Except for the heat, this was a perfect summer day by the lake. I'm really thankful people like Montgomery Ward and others decided to preserve the lake front as public space. It is one of Chicago's richest treasures. Dh and I decided to bike today and we were not disappointed with the view.

I love this! Your drawings make me really want to learn how to watercolor.

My husband and I spent yesterday afternoon down by the shore of Puget Sound and I just love looking at cities by water.

I love that liquid sea of yours. This is a view of Chicago we don't get in "ER". I'd like to see more of it this way.
Cheers,
Peter.
