And More Orange Groves

Remember this painting?

A friend saw it and wondered if I could draw a similar scene in pencil, this time adding in two little girls. Because I love to draw, love to draw and paint orange groves, and really like my friend, I said yes.

Ahem. There isn’t a photo of the two little girls from the back, walking together holding hands, because one doesn’t even walk yet. 

My friend sent me photos of the girls as they look now. Then I went to The Duck (search engine DuckDuckGo) to see if I could find helpful photos. 

From those photos, I did this little sketch.

Good thing my friend knows that I know how to draw. He was very taken with the sketch, so I think this idea will work, IF I CAN DRAW TWO LITTLE GIRLS THAT I CANNOT SEE!

No pressure or any undue stress.

Just shut up and pick up your pencils, Central California Artist.

  1. If Beethoven can create and conduct his magnificent 9th Symphony, surely you can draw two little girls whom you cannot see!

    • Sharon, you are right in theory. The comparison is brilliant. So was Beethoven. Unfortunately, I am not in the same category, but I will do my best.

      • Actually, my statement was not complete. (Note to self: Self, proofread carefully!)

        What I meant to write was, “If Beethoven can create and conduct his magnificent 9th Symphony while deaf, surely . . . ”

        Now that makes more sense!
