burchams' farm

                8x5 sketchbook
                   8x10 block
.                       5x12
Second outing at the farm.
There were amazing cloudy, changeable skies but for some reason I focused on the land! Those dark tree shapes compelled me.
I started with small sketches to try to figure out what went where.
Then small watercolor sketches where the idea was to simplify shapes and develop a plan for the greens--neither of which I did.
Then, finally, unhappy with the watercolor sketches, I started something that may work out!
My first little sketch, at the top of the sketchbook, was the best thing I did all day.
