A simple sketch--from memory of a couple of trees that grow in our yard. For whatever reason, they've become entwined. I used mixed media on this one. The sanguine line is a pen brush. the white high-lights are chalk and the black shading is from a Derwent drawing pencil. The paper is like cardboard and toned like a grocery bag, giving the sketch all it's middle values. I cannot say I spent very much time on this, but you have to get your hands moving--so I did. Val & I have just started to work on the garden. Last year we took it from a patch of weeds to a place where you wouldn't mind sitting down to read a book. I have one to start too. So, when all the hash is settled with the planting, cutting and what-not. Val & I will have a nice little spot for Sunday coffee.
