Lunch Time Portrait Drawing

I feel like such a lurker, this young man didn't know he posed for a portrait.

He was drawn with a Micron pen. You don't get nice line variation but Micron pens travel well and don't smudge

2012 July 3 Artist Journal Page Itasca State Park

We went to Itasca State Park the day after a lively storm; about half of the park roads were closed due to fallen trees.

The temp in the parked Jeep said it was 114 degrees but the actual temperature was significantly less. The reading corrected after we drove it away from the baking sun in front of the cabin.

A man in Osage was using a chainsaw as a weed whacker.

A snake landed on Nissa when she opened the cabin door. He slithered into the cabin and attacked the broom when we tried to encourage his departure. We were very brave while under attack.
