It has been over a year since I have posted to my blog. Not all of it was my fault. Last December Central Illinois had an ice storm that left our small town without power for a few days and because of that my pipes burst. Now the interesting thing to note is that the last remodeler had the bright idea to run the water lines up to the attic and across the house, thus causing the ceilings to all collapse and destroy the entire downstairs.
So the last year all my spare time has been spent gutting the house and starting over. During the year I officially lost my job of 20 years as well. I have been using the last 3 months to catch up on the house before winter hit.
Now that the Holidays are over and a new year begun, I have decided to start doing my art again. Here is my first piece since my last post. It is 5 x 7 and done in colored pencil on stonehenge paper. It is my good friend and his son after they won the area tournament. My wife caught the moment perfectly and I have wanted to draw it for some time.
I hope to create a new drawing at least once a week for the next year. Next I will be working on some people from our town mixed with some other stuff. I promise to make every effort possible to post regularly this year.
Thanks for looking.
