Promo Postcard

I just ordered my next set of promotional postcards.  So, if you’re on my postcard mailing list, you’ll get one of these in, oh… a month and a half?   Something like that.

Old Mill at Lake Olathe

A drawing of the old stone building (mill?) out at Lake Olathe south of Dennis where Cedar Creek flows under the bridge into the lake.  This is to fill an art challenge for the Olathe Visual Artists Association (OVA).

I originally tried to do this as a full-color digital painting, but working on it just felt like pulling teeth.  When I started over and decided to try with thin brown lines instead, something just seemed to click.  I’m not sure if it’s that good, but it satisfied me so much more than a painterly, colored piece would have.

Rock Wall in Fish Creek, WI

A rock wall near the lake shore in Fish Creek, WI from my summer vacation.  Just got around to drawing it.

Perspective on something geometric, like a building, is much easier to do than perspective on something organic, like people.  So, this was a challenge.  I’m not 100% happy with it, but I’m sharing anyway.  Enjoy.  smiley 15

I don’t know why, but I’m really proud of that contrail.  That came out well, I think.  smiley 15
