Driving the Arkansas Ozarks is always lovely. I had never been here in the winter before --- there is less color but it is still beautiful.
Sketching in a moving truck proved a bit too bumpy so I snapped several photos through the windshield to sketch from later. Afterwards, it seemed all I got were shots of roads curving right; I'm sure we must have curved the other way at some point!
I brought back several large rocks / petrified wood from our friends' rock garden. We have a planting bed next to our cabin that gets flooded when it rains, and had decided to put in a rock garden with a few containers there. So now I have large specimen rocks for that area. Bill teased that my rocks were putting the weight limit over the top --- nothing to do with that industrial metal lathe he brought back, right? It only tips the scale somewhere over 1000 lbs. after all.
One of these days, I will sketch a few of the rocks.
I love your "on the road" sketches. I'm with you, I tried sketching in the car and it looked like a dog's breakfast. This makes a much better memory.
ReplyDeleteLOL -- "dog's breakfast" describes it very well! I'm okay at lightly penciling in a page layout while riding in a vehicle but never in pen! Pencil lines can be erased, after all.
