In Progress, Pencil and Oil

It was still hot last week. I painted awhile in the workshop but didn’t turn on the swamp cooler. Probably should have. Painted slowly, quit early.

Layering the background.
More layers on the store and foreground.
The camellia is coming along nicely, and when this layer is dry, I’ll add the tiny details.

The lemons might be finished.

I retreated to the studio and turned on the air conditioner. While listening to interviews with the very smart and entertaining Mike Rowe, I began this pencil commission.

I love to draw.

Drawing #1 of the Silver City gas pump is now under way.

  1. Progress . . . completion! It’s a Beautiful Thing!

    And I love Mike Rowe. Now there’s a guy with a good head on his shoulders! I’m sure you’re familiar with The Way I Heard It? And now he has a Facebook video series called “Returning the Favor.” It’s worth signing up for Facebook just to watch those weekly vignettes. Trust me.

    • Sharon, I do trust you, totally! Yes, I listen to The Way I Heard it, but not signing up for FB. I’ll wait for him to make those things available in another format.
