Finally caught up on work, I took a leisurely break on my
way home from a meeting in Shoreline this morning at Evergreen Washelli
Memorial Park. Back in April was the first time I drove by the war memorial section of the cemetery. Completely
daunted by the rows and rows of identical white markers, I had no idea how to
approach such a sketch. Today when I drove around the area again, I still
didn’t have a clue, but the lovely day was inviting, as was the serenity. I’m
not completely happy with the way the sketch turned out, but it gives me
something to use as a baseline for the next time I attempt it.

Driving out of the park, I spotted a flock of Canada geese
grazing in the grass and sipping from puddles. I pulled over and quietly walked
over to them, brush pen in hand. Capturing that graceful S-shaped curve in a goose’s
neck as it bent to take a drink – that made me happy!
I like your treatment of the headstones. So many of anything is really daunting, but this works!!! Good job on the geese too.
ReplyDeleteI would have gotten all caught up in detailing all those markers. You captured them and the depth of the scene really well. --- Larry
