the Woodshed


            On a recent visit to Schonberg's Tree Service to "help" with a modification  they were doing on a grapple, I took some time to do some drawing.  I was of little help to Justin, other than letting him see that he could weld it back together as good as the old guy.  But the drawing was somewhat successful.  It was chilly in the shade, but this second drawing was done sitting in the full sun where it was very comfy.  I have photos of Phil's wood shed from some years back and had thought it a fitting subject for a drawing, so...                        Done on some 9" x 12" format paper in pencil and marker, I am reasonable happy with the result.  The darkness of the firewood in the shadows and the negative spaces it creates against the lighter background and foreground make for a nice composition.        
           Done 1/16/15 about 1:00 pm.  I recorded the temp at 60 degrees, but it was not that in the shade early in the day I don't think.
