detail and loose drawing of Dale Chihuly's Royal Blue Mint Chandelier, at the Mint Museum

A trip to the Wing Haven Gardens and Bird Sanctuary is always so enchanting.

I feel in another world as birds chirp, squirrels and chipmunks run around,

and the sound of trickling water guides me through the gardens. Sunlight comes and goes, warming me as I do my sketches.

A small portion of the Myers Park Church complex which occupies an entire block

The lovely weather tempted me to go outdoors today.

I went to Freedom Park.

There, I did this small watercolor study of the rippling water in the lake.

A sketch of the greenway, where it wraps around Lulu Cafe,

and a quick playful sketch of the balustrade

Front elevation and door detail.

This started as a line drawing and then shadows appeared.

The church bells rang at 1:00 and 1:30.

This sketch was done very quickly, but I believe is still successful in communicating

what I like about this space.
