Chicago Trip, Part One: The Bean.

I found a perfect place to sketch near the Cloud Gate, aka the Bean, in the Millennium Park in Chicago.  The Bean is a public art sculpture that I haven't had a chance to draw, and with only 24 hours of free time in the city, and the Chicago Art Institute opening at 11 am and located a few hundred feet from the Bean, it was an obvious plan :) I did 1/2 of the sketch while perched on a parapet, but then had to get down as a guard did not agree with my idea that sketching is a reason to break rules :)

I will be posting about my museum outing and class at the Chicago Urban Sketchers Seminar in separate posts.
