out east

Here is a watercolor done a few days ago. It was more inspired by the first sketch to follow than the on site drawing, as you will be able to tell. The comments below explain some of the process.  I have looked at this scene ever since the houses behind were built- but only recently compelled to draw it, if you can explain that!

This was the idea sketch done from memory one noc after getting home from playing dominos with Gramma Ruth.  You can see how jumbled things get on a pc of sketch paper; there is the sketch of the top of some car done before this sketch was done below.      

Things catch your eye.  Who knows why.  This is a drawing done on location one day sometime after the sketch done from memory. And in this case why does the drawing not emphasize more what it was that caught my eye?  Maybe it was my penchant for filling out a sketch, rather than just recording what originally inspired me.  In this case, it was the relationship of the angles created by the wires with the angles created by the roof and the power pole.
