Sunday sketches. One of my favorite winter bird visitors is the white-throated sparrow. I love their little yellow eyebrows.

Watching hooded crows dance around a dumpster can remind you that perhaps you should be spending your day filled with as much enthusiasm crows have with dumpsters.

Personally, i’ll stick to cafes for lunch but to each their own..

Early morning value sketches.

#drawing #marker #sketch
Gray-scale marker drawing of a group of trees rising from a bed of snow. A close up view of a few thick trunks, capturing crisscrossed shadows from their upper limbs, is in center view while thinner trees rise behind, in the distance. Gray-scale marker drawing of a house along Weybridge Street in Middlebury, VT. The tall, slender, white clapboard house sets covered in angular roofing displaying a large shadow from a tree to the right and out of view. Various slender windows dot the houses facades, topped with a chimney under a pale sky. Gray-scale marker drawing of buildings along Mauritskade in The Hague, Netherlands. Tall and squat stone buildings shoulder against each other as a slender tower rises to the right. Dark angular shadows run vertically along the structures, telling of the bright mid-day sun from the above right.

Ever since his childhood visits to Kensington Gardens, Paul Nash had been drawn to trees - they held a spiritual quality for him. The tranquillity in this work from 1911, is heightened by the inclusion of birds which he saw as an emblem of freedom.

Edward Wadsworth was commissioned by the British chemical company ICI to produce public information posters during WW2, including this one 'Straight from the Tap,' (1944) warning the public to boil water before drinking it.

‘A Black Afternoon’
Charcoal & Varnish sketch.

'Over wide open stretches of undulating fields the wind blew furiously, icy cold cutting like a razor. Clustered here and there were oases of timeless pools within black wet forests that fractured the driving force, dissipating it for sweet relief.'
