Irving Park

 
 
Finally - the first really warm day when you can actually sit outside and not want to leave within 5 minutes because you are cold! In celebration we headed down to Irving Park for a sketching session. I often forget about this one, it's just a little bit further than my usual walking routes, it's tucked in a historic neighborhood, and it's simple and quite small. Being spring, everything was still brown and grey, so we'll definitely have to come back here in the summer.  The park itself is quite a popular place for weddings in the summer surrounded by well preserved historic houses, the park also serves as the namesake for the neighborhood. As tempting as it is sometimes to draw those historic houses, I settled on the fountain center piece this time.
 
As a side note, I'm practicing trying to draw quicker - Look, no ruler!
