Here is a drawing from 1997. This
is from the east side of the first road turning up into Quincy. The
kids had been married a couple years at this time. We may have gone
quail hunting with Deak that day or maybe it was one of the later
trips. You can see the old Methodist church in the background. The
artist has taken some liberties with the drawing. (Oh well, ya get
caught some times.) I did not feel that the goal was complete
accuracy. If that were the case no drawing would ever get done.
Pencils have a way of interpreting things in their own way. There
are places where accuracy is important. Art is not always one of
them. There are other things to be recorded besides shape and tone.
If you want it literal, use your phone! But after all it has been a
while since you could even trust a camera image let alone a digital
one.
