This is the scene from the Hamm shop on 24 highway east of Perry. I have seen this view for some 16 years, but just now thought it should get put to paper. Seems like the sketch was done one day about noon on a scrap of paper in my pocket as I was headed out the door. If you have something somewhat memorized, then a few quick scribbles are about all it takes to turn it into something. The note on the painting says only "10/8/15 Billtown Crossing". I think the crossing needed a little clarity in my sketch as it was transferred to paint. What I was wanting to catch primarily was the relationship of the trees in shadow to the houses in full summer sun. Seems like it turned out OK. It was that time of year when some of the fields were bare and dark from the recent rain. This was done on a scrap of Arches paper about 6 or 7 inches tall.Sunday, December 20, 2015
