Eleven women and one guy showed up at the Atlanta Water Gardens
http://www.atlantawatergardens today to sketch. It was hot, hot, hot, but the ambiance of the Gardens -- the tinkle of wind chimes, the soft puffs of a northerly breeze, the gentle bubbling of fountains here, there and everywhere, and the owners' offering of ice-cold lemonade -- helped us forget the heat.
Here are my sketches. More from the other participants are on the way.
