My plan was to take another crack at sketching the steeple that I had failed at so miserably a few weeks ago, so I pulled into the Calvary
Christian Assembly’s parking lot at Northeast 68th and Roosevelt Way
Northeast. As I drove around looking for a strategic parking space, I suddenly
spotted a huge plum tree just beginning to blossom. Even with the ugly van
parked in front of it and an equally unattractive utility pole next to it, the
tree was a magnificent harbinger of spring.
Two reasons to rejoice: its cheerful pink color against the
drab overcast sky and its presence that distracted me from an annoying
perspective study.
A little color is much more fun than agonizing over perspective. lol I saw that new Lamy you got...I'll have to go check it out. I may HAVE to have another one before I go on my trip to Ireland.
