| 10/14/15 India ink, watercolor |
Almost a month ago, I sketched this same traffic circle with three slender maples in the
Greenwood neighborhood. The two on the left were still completely green, while
the third was turning beautifully. I had made a note on my calendar to visit again
after a few weeks to see if the green ones had turned yet. Today I saw traces
of orange, but not as much as I had expected. It was obvious, though, that the
strong wind we had a few days ago had taken a lot of leaves down from the one
on the right. It might be bald the next time I visit.
As you can see, I’ve forgotten all about my self-imposed rule to use only ink in
sketches I post with the #inktober hashtag. However, to keep the
emphasis on the ink, I used that most basic yet also the most challenging ink-application tool I know of: the lowly twig.
You have a nice command of the twig! Nice sketch of the trees.
