A few new sketches...more daily drawings

I am finding these things quite addictive..the more I draw the more I want to draw...

This is a country church yard that I drive by on my way upcountry from Augusta on hwy 28...always have liked the way the two dead firs look...and the old wonky building...prismacolor pencil and ink. I actually pulled over on the side of the road to draw this one.. Would you believe there were fishermen out on the river today...this guy was ALL bundled up...it was 45 outside and the wind was literally howling down the river blowing this guy OPPOSITE the current down the river...not UP the river....and his boat was moving in slow lazy circles past our house...my husband said the perch are running...and they are catching world record sized perch down by the bridge at the end of the neighborhood with a dollfly and the smallest minnow you can find...BUT HES NOT out there fishing:> TOO cold for my dear dh...

I love your drawings, your journal/sketchbook pages really tell a story. You´ve been incredibly productive lately, it´s great to see!

Ah, Margaret - the number of times I've been out fishing with my Dad in cold weather... Except that we were out in the Pacific Ocean. This sketch brought back memories for me.

I also really like your Church drawing. You're right - there is a certain look to those trees. Lovely!
