Took this picture of a stray beam of light hitting an oak tree trunk on the evening of October 2nd in the Maple Grove Arboretum.

This is the first drawing I’ve put on this site. One of the first scanned in, so I felt it should get posted. I’m going to try photographing another drawing and see how the presentation visually compares to scanning it.
I did this drawing of a Sedum in 2008 with crayons. This isn’t the best example, but crayons can be layered and the colors melded together and some really nice things can be made. I hope to show that in some future postings.
Flowers have always been my favorite subject to draw. One of the first I can remember, is a drawing of a Tiger Lilly that I made at my Aunt’s house one summer. I have to laugh because I only drew 1 of the many flowers on it because I was going to have it look just like those flower reference manuals. So silly. I’m sure I still have it somewhere, if I find it I’ll post it.
One of the ideas I’ve been entertaining in my head is to work on my drawing skills as a way to improve and compliment my photography. Some good ideas and additional technique may rub off. It will happen.
