| Indian Maiden at Lover's Leap Graphite on bristol, 11x14 |
 |
| Plague in Hannibal, Missouri |
Today's work is a tribute to the legend of the star-crossed indian lovers at Lover's Leap in Hannibal, Missouri. This one is drawn in graphite on bristol. When I was doing so much graphite work while my dad was in the hospital, I had chosen my very favorite tools - putting them all in a narrow little zip-up bag I could keep in a tote with my bristol pad. Having my supplies with me, I could then work whenever the opportunity presented itself. Well, I have since unloaded that tote, and I can not find my little bag of supplies! While it is true, I have many supplies......I totally miss my favs! One thing I must replace is a black inktense watersoluable pencil for those absolutely black details that simply can't be attained with only graphite. And, there is nothing like well-worn tortillions already loaded with gaphite for that great shading. I know they will turn up somewhere......I probably unpacked and repacked that tote for a school field trip, laying the bag aside in a remote place! This piece makes 451 in as many days.....now on to the next with only a little time before the kids come home!
