Here is a drawing just finished up this weekend. This is the purpose we started posting drawings - to get me to do a little more drawing, and to figure out how to get it presented half decently. This piece is actually a followup for an earlier post - Gray and Gold - but done from a much closer perspective. The former, an evening sketch; the later, a morning one. A morning in which the sun was casting shadows over all the weathered wood. The paint if there had ever been some is leaving very little evidence now of its presence. I had a little time a few Saturdays ago while Grandmother Ruth was getting her hair done! so I beat it across town and was able to get the sketch which this weekend turned into a drawing. (It's a thin line I guess in my case between a sketch and a "bona fide" drawing.) It was a warm, dry, sunny morning but still a little before the sweat began to roll! This is one of those subjects that could inspire a bucket full of drawings.
Where is this, Dad?
ReplyDeleteI did not say where exactly because I had done so in the previous post "Gray and Gold" of May 11th I believe. It is just past the curve on 24-40 as it turns northeast, crosses the new bridge and heads to "Tongi". That's not far east from where you did your student teaching?? at the ol' Grant School, right?
ReplyDeleteActually you can see the bridge approach in the background in this "closeup".
