From the Window

     

        Here is another piece from Thanksgiving. After all, that is one of the goals of this spot- to get more current drawings out there for “all you all” to see! This one is again from our trip to Minnesota in November. This one had lots of potential for different lighting depending on the time of day and the cloud cover, but this is as it was when I started the drawing. I was a little disappointed that it did not convey the bleakness that I had sensed when I first noticed the scene, but I guess it still conveys some of the impact of the moment at which it first caught my eye. A pencil, a paper, a hand and and eye, and an artist should never be without entertainment! With a little observation a person can learn a lot and convey something new.
