Trees #18, 19, 20

Quick sketch: a viburnum bush in our backyard as seen from our sunroom window, late afternoon, 19 degrees. Started sketching earlier than the past days, but not early enough, and had to quit when it got too dark to see. Sketching from my own life is so much more satisfying. 1-20-12

I confess, NOT what I see every day in the midwest in January.

Wishful thinking? 1-19-12

It was late, dark outside, so I just played around with paint.
Not drawing from observation or experience is not satisfying,
but good practice. 1-18-12
