Ball-point Pen

5.25"x3.5"

After the noon hour and a morning of paddling around the reservoir I decided to go for a hike. The clouds gathered and it was misting so I did not want to be out on the water. All in all I hiked about ten miles exploring a maze of back-woods dirt roads that are all over the Northeast Kingdom. After awhile I came close to civilization when I found this old farm. This field called to me and there is something special about this drawing that reminds me of Claude and the many landscape artists I have been studying over the last two years.
