White Redbud Season



        How about a drawing from this week. The pencil sketch was done 8 days ago now; it had been a few since I had done a sketch on location and I needed the opportunity to remind myself what is possible. The ink was completed today. The whole thing represents three to four hours of work; it goes a little quicker when you have no one but yourself to please with the outcome. It also helps to have a little cold wet weather for these kinds of things. I know, everyone is anxious for the weather to get with the program, but it is about the only thing that will keep me in long enough to do a drawing or two. Even at that it is all I can do to resist takin' a walk in the rain! (No one else should be out to disturb your peace and quiet!)
       I have thought for some years that this place might be an interesting drawing. I like the flowering trees that line the south side, and the fence, well... adds a lot of interest in black and white.
