Hard Water in Mineral King

This is Tulare County, pencil drawing, from Mineral King. It is Spring Creek. It could be anywhere. If I have this at a show and someone says, “Oh! Is that Yosemite?!”, then my answer will be, “If you would like it to be Yosemite, then it is Yosemite for you”.

Let the record reflect that YES, DRAWING WATER IS HARD!! (Tee hee hee, perhaps the title of this piece should be “Hard Water”.)

  1. Love this, Jana. Good for you for drawing hard water! 🙂

    • Thank you, Cheryl! And isn’t it fun to play with words and their multiple meanings?

  2. Absolutely beautiful! I have no idea how you could draw such detail as is in running water. This drawing captivates me, no joke!

    • Allen, how nice to hear from you! Drawing in detail is my specialty . . . thank you for checking in, and for liking my work!

  3. I can hear the water rushing down the creek, I love it!

    • Rosemary, this took forever! It is forgiving, but also has to be believable. I had to figure out how to fake the look so I could fill in the blanks when I didn’t plan correctly.

  4. Love it – will be up this weekend will take a walk to Spring Creek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Thank you, Leah! I appreciate your appreciation of pencil drawings.

  5. I love it!!! You captured it perfectly!!

    • Thank you, Katherine! This one took several years to complete, so it feels great to have it finished.
