Minnesota Birch

         

           This simple sketch done from the kids sun room in mInnnn-ehsO--ta; (is that how you say it??)  There was just not enough time in the day to get outside and sketch, and besides, it was raining!  This little patch of small birch trees sits in the grass at the edge of Brian's oak wood, and though they have been photographed often this is one of my first sketches of the bunch. These trees get more interesting every year; it is nice they survived the construction process.
            I was trying to fill up a small sketch pad while there, but kept switching to a larger format for some drawings that I wanted to finish up later.  This one, done in the 5" x 9" format, helped me get some more in the small pad. Done entirely with an ultra fine Sharpie in less than 5 minutes while waiting for supper to get on the table.
