Had occasion to do some waiting in Downers Grove Illinois. So I made three sketches in about 2 hours.

On the Road and Back Again
Ohio Turnpike: When riding along the highways in the midwest I always think "The sky is so big and the trees are so small!" Since I was a passenger on a recent road trip I did a little sketch of the fast moving scenery.

Sketching Around Downtown Chicago
I never get over how many wonderful views this city offers. From the soaring architecture, the lakefront, to the green-garden escapes tucked in every corner. I grab my sketchbook (moleskin), pencils, and travel watercolor set whenever I can fit it in my bag. Here are a few recent sketches from around town.
Summer nights in Chicago mean free concerts and movies in Millennium Park. I staked out my patch of lawn early for the concert this past Monday night, and sketched out a quick look at the architecture behind the stage.
Sometimes a quick sketch can be done at home - over a recent weekend I found time to sketch on my deck which offers great views of the varied south loop architecture.
This sketch was done on the end of Navy Pier on a bright sunny day spent on the lakefront. I tried to catch the ever-changing shades of the water and the puffy clouds as they sped by.
