I will do a watercolor this weekend using some of the elements in my sketches that are strong.<BR/><BR/>I am not really sure if I like the red ink over drawings. I think I was probably too timid with the middle and bottom drawing, and the top drawing works a little better because I didn't care.<BR/><BR/>The two commuter train sketches with the leaf drawings are from a scene on the commuter rail that I really wanted to capture. I might try to capture it again in the future, but just for some background: the sketches were of this giant of a man (easily 6' 6"). He had a really weathered, soulfull face--deep lines and very searching/careing eyes. He was taking care of his two young children, one was a girl about Grace's age and the other was a mentally challenged son who was probably around 18.<BR/> He was just taking them both on a ride on the train because neither of them had ever been on a train. The son started acting out of few stops into the trip, but the man in a very even toned soft voice calmed his son down. <BR/> It was a very moving scene.Colin Darkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446067212325412303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211226.post-1158283004718054212006-09-14T21:16:00.000-04:002006-09-14T21:16:00.000-04:00awesome - I especially like the top drawing - alth...awesome - <BR/><BR/>I especially like the top drawing - although I think it is sideways. It reminds me of your watercolor and city scene paintings where you have two thinks going on at once. it's a nice contrast of colors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137109046049857323noreply@blogger.com
