Urban Sketchers, Lan Su Garden

A very cold 10:30 am trip the the Chinese Gardens to take advantage of the food drive / free admission. Sunny, but high 30’s low 40’s! Everyone was bundled up and we got cozy at Floyd’s to share work or keep working by around noon – I couldn’t feel my toes. I like my tree. Organic shapes are difficult for me and I get really overwhelmed by the visual information. I was initially frustrated but goaded myself to keep going until it looked like something and then it suddenly did. I can’t say the same for the tall ornamental boulder. It turned out pretty weird. I just wanted to get more than one thing on paper to make up for yesterday.
