Except for the aquatic gardens, the English garden at the Chicago Botanic Gardens is Linda’s favorite. And in July, it is at the height of its glory.

Redwoods
Oil pastel

Hiking through the California redwoods, Linda was impressed by several things: the sheer immensity of the trees, the silence, & the late afternoon sunlight streaming down & collecting in golden pools.
Waterfall 2
Pen & ink

The action of the water tumbling over the rocks was the fascination here. Linda used .13mm & .18mm Rapidograph pens. These are delicate instruments & all of the stippling was hard on them. In fact, Linda went through at least 3 of the .13mm pens on this one drawing alone!
