I love a rambling farm scene, and I knew immediately this would be done in pen and ink. Sometimes, I see my painting in my mind's eye as I drive up to a location. No matter what my initial intentions are, I listen to this inner voice and follow through with my vision. So much of art is intuitive, all I need to do is listen. Even as I worked my "brain" was asking about the watercolor, maybe a little color to pop the scene. At the very end of my drawing I decided that pen and ink captured how I felt in this place perfectly. No need to toss some color it's way. I'm honored this painting was awarded the Willow Creek Purchase Award, too. Painting number 3923 in 3923 days.
