East of the park

3/3/16 was the date on the sketch I posted on August 7th. It was 7 am and I was walking on the east sidewalk. That early in March is a little early for most migrating warblers, so I had time to do some dawn sketching.   Facing east you see the sun slowly climbing in the sky back lighting the houses bordering the park east of the lake.  This was inspired by a few sketches I have done of the area, but especially one sketch posted in August.
How do you like my run on sentences??
Done on a 11 inch by 14 inch Canson 140# paper.  The palette was limited to 3 main colors; Cerulean Blue, Ultramarine Blue, and Van Dyke Brown with a bit of Payne's Gray tossed in to deepen the contrast...

    I really like this one. If you need some free wall space to hang this one, I can find some in my house.

    Well Ben glad you like it, and thanks for the comment. It would be nice to get more comments, but I do get one from time to time. 'Spose if I linked the blog to facebook it would generate 10 times the exposure.
    (The Q. is: Do you have any of my pencil stuff hung yet...)

      Yep, we've got two framed and hung currently. One in my office and one in our basement play room.
