Until the end of November, these drawings on exhibit at the
Veterans Bridge Home in Charlotte. The link to the VBH is: http://veteransbridgehome.org/. You
can visit any time during normal business hours Monday to Friday.
The drawings in this post are ones I did recently in the Blue Ridge Mountains. They are close up details of pine trees on the Arrowmont Art School property. I used a lot of texture on these, even going so far as to rub the paper onto the tree itself.
I drew these from life, sitting outside with a drawing board. During the week I was drawing we saw a few bear wandering around. Once I thought a bear was walking down the trail I was on, but it was just a human running.
All of the drawings are 18 x 24 inches. I used 2B to 8B pencils. The
texture is offset by a few delicate small branches.
