2/28/15 was the day this drawing got started. It was the last effort of the year in NE Kansas for snow. Not much, but enough for me to take a walk to the shelter house and start this drawing while trying to keep my paper dry under the roof. It was 2 pm and about 28 degrees. The snow stopped falling by the time I headed home. The next day it was mostly gone, but this drawing takes me right back to that cold and still day. Not cold enough for my fingers to not work so I was able to take some time on this one.
Done with .9 mm B lead on 9 x 14 inch paper. It took me a few days to finish this piece at home with it sitting on the piano and me staring at it then picking up the pencil from time to time.
Right now it is about 89 degrees in middle Georgia where we are visiting, so this seems like a long time ago.
On the southeast corner of the lake?
ReplyDeleteYes, what was at one time the extreme south east of the park, but a few more acres have been added to the park, or are soon to be. And it is very wooded and overgrown so that is nice.
