Work In Progress: Board of Directors Meeting (Pelicans), Update 2
The last week has been a little
rough for me. I’ve had some arthritis and back issues and, just recently, a bad
cold and flu. They’ve kept me from accomplishing much work on the painting.
I’ve been nursing myself, along with my wife’s incredible help, back because
we’ve got reservations at a cabin in the mountains soon and we’re anxious to
spend time enjoying the fall foliage, a pastime we find most relaxing. I’m also
preparing for upcoming festivals and colored pencil and figurative drawing
classes, and helping my granddaughter with an insightful science project, one
involving the deleterious effects of climate change on marine shellfish. So,
things are a bit hectic to say the least.
I have completed a pencil drawing of
the Board of Directors Meeting and I present it here. I’m pleased with the way
it’s come out so far. It is fairly straightforward, so I don’t think the value
and color sketches will be a big departure from the original photo. What I have
to make a decision on is the medium. At the moment I’m thinking, either all
colored pencil, all pastel, or a combination of the two. Should have that
decided soon. I’m anxious to get started.
