This odd little drawing was started and completed along with another on the same day after a short stop at the bottom of Louisiana street where Broken Arrow park sits. This view is looking west from the park on a very cold day when not a whole lot was going on. The entire place south of there has been torn up and is slowly getting put back together to make way for 2 new roadways. This drawing shows the yard at the south end of the park where the crews store equipment and materials for the project. The pre-manufactured barrier of light black pvc and stakes is to keep the runoff from the work area flowing up hill into the park itself!! I never knew liquid could run uphill- you learn something every day!
I could not pass up the chance to record the black line extending across the view. You may notice a few things in the drawing such as the water trucks half hidden behind the tree on the right, the forks for loading and unloading trucks of supplies, etc. The truck and lowboy waiting to haul some equipment, and dirt pile in the back laid in by scrapers for later use. You can see as well the residential area in the distance to the west.
Done with pencil and marker on a 5x8 inch Strathmore Sketch pad. I will have to post the companion drawing soon.
