East of Mary's Lake

    

        This drawing was done just before my surgery in January. Standing in the trail heading back into the woods from the concrete trail on the east side of Mary's Lake you can “eave's drop” on the neighbors; or do a quick sketch of the view to the east. Some views are just the right combination of line, direction and shade that it makes it difficult to resist doing a sketch, and not too difficult to finish it! Although it does get more difficult to concentrate as the weather improves and the hedge woods green up, this drawing was done before the winter weather even arrived.
