Lovely drawing Nishant! So interesting how the toned paper sketchbook has got you picking up different colours for layers, I saw blue recently as well :-)
As I read, I realized you were in Vancouver, where I lived and bicycled around from 1974 to 1985. Queen E Park was a favourite spot of mine. Dave Barret was PM then, and the city supported the arts and sciences.
I seem to recall that hill was mined for coal and later turned into a water reservoir for the city, and later landscaped with a big beautiful glass hot house on top with four different climate zones inside and four mini-climates you could wander through. They called it a B--------- can't recall the name right now. Bio-sphere? That was closed when I returned for a visit many years later, which was disappointing. Apparently it was too expensive and complicated to maintain.
I'm so glad to hear about the TreeLib and to know the public is enjoying that beautiful old park.
This is so lovely to know, Susan. There is now the Bloedel Conservatory at the top of the hill. I haven't visited inside, but it is supposed to be a home for tropical plants from the Commonwealth.
Ooh I love you’re drawing tees! A change from the people and also so nice to see the toned paper - makes me want to have a go! Fabulous
Thank you! I have been paying attention to the trees around me of late. :)
I was absolutely thinking about that page to hang up! Love it! And the additional of red against the beige is so lovely.
Thank you! 🙌🏽
Oooh. A dash of colour! Those trees look great on the toned paper.
🙌🏽

Quick and easy atmospheric perspective!
Thank you for such a lovely post, Nishant.

Hi, I hope you will have a chance to visit inside the Blodel conservatory. I recall the magical peaceful otherworldness there.
