Hiking Sketchbook 2023!

Since I did so many large drawings last year, I decided to draw small to begin 2023. Here are a few pages out of my hiking sketch book. These are from hikes near Elkin North Carolina alone the Mountain to Sea Trail. I used pencil, color pencil and watercolor paint in a 5 x 8 inches sketch book.

 

The Wedding Tree at Thistle Meadow Winery

If you need a break from the heat, wander up to the mountains to the Thistle Meadow Winery in Laurel Springs NC. It is about an hour and 1/2 north of Charlotte. You can have a picnic there under this tree next to a stream and sip some of their great wines. Many couples have gotten married under this tree over the years. This is a color pencil sketch.
