Trees and Mountains and more.


 Another charcoal drawing. . . I used knitting needles to make the white branches before using charcoal on the large tree.  This has been a fun experiment drawing instead of painting.

Thank you Eva and Kristin for this wonderful welcoming website. The comments have been so helpful and fulfilling. Paint Party Friday is a great place to learn and visit. Thank you for your comments. I do try to get around to as many posts as I can.

At one point I had drawn a barn with a topper. . . Weather vane in the shape of a horse. Here is my reference. . .

The horses were out back today.
Squirrel wants my attention. . .out of food mom.
Our gorgeous Fountain where
the Mallards like to swim.

Red bird in my Front yard too.
