Lelan is after me to post some pics again. (Smile!)So here is one from early last month. Done in ink on pencil, as most are now days. There is one good group of these guys at Prairie Park on one of the mud trails east of the lake.

Milborn Light
Like many of the things I draw, this was done in too big a hurry, and too little thought. But also, like much of what I do under those circumstances, when I find it later burried in some misplaced sketch pad, I end up kinda liking it for the very spontenaity that caused me some angst in the beginning. I had been thinking of doing the car for some time. but as it turned out on this day, I was still up the large central stairs in the Watkins museum, while all the family that had come with us was waiting at the entry for me. They could see me from where they stood, and were politely wondering just how long I was actually going to take.

Gray-headed coneflower
This quick drawing showing the upper portion of the plant was started as they all seem to be lately, with a pencil while sitting on a camp stool along the trail at Prairie Park.
Here is another gray coneflower, done close-up and in pencil, showing a couple stages in the maturing of the flower. The disc florets were just beginning to open and turn dark near the bottom on one side of the central flower. The middle flower has a full gray "cap" and the top flower is just beginning to reach its ray pedals out. The whole drawing is about 3" tall.

Nothing on this house is where you think it should be.
Nothing lines up like it should- that makes for some good subject matter...

India ink and stick drawing
This stick drawing was done with india ink. Black and white in the truest sense of the term.
The jpeg image was on my phone for some time, but just now got added to the possible postings.
The original sketch came from the stack of quick studies done on trips to see the grandkids.

Decided to do a couple Spiderwort from memory. That did not turn out so well, even though the drawing is ok . Although I had a good idea in my head of what I was aiming for, I found that it was much easier if I had something to look at while drawing. Otherwise it took me repeated roughs to get to a workable image. The top one was done mostly from memory, and the bottom one was done from a previously drawn flower.
