Drawings from May

A peek into the sketchbook and mind of someone who probably needs a nap

Hey-o! Here is a lot of the stuff I drew this month and some thoughts about it all. I will organize it in nature/garden, friends, and baseball (stay with me on that one).

Nature/Garden

In late April I made a little day trip to Black Partridge Woods which is a favorite spot here in Chicagoland. I get pretty depressed living in this city and long for the type of hike where you don’t hear the interstate nearby. Chicago has a lot going for it, but people don’t move here to immerse themselves in nature. I do what I can. Visiting Black Partridge Woods in the Spring is a special treat, because all of the spring ephemerals are popping off, and no one else seems to really care (I went on a Sunday afternoon and encountered only three other people in this paradise). Toad looked especially cute among the fleeting blooms - we found geranium, trout lily, wood anemone, and more.
