This week, Sandy and I went to Braintree Hill in Randolph to paint plein air one lovely, sunny morning. At the top of the hill is an old church and graveyard. I got so taken up with taking photographs of the cemetery nearby, I ran out of time to paint. So, instead, I sketched.
Here are a couple of drawings from our time outdoors in the fresh air...
This is a marker drawing of an ancient tree that caught my eye. I loved the way the trunk split into two separate sections and how full the tree was despite its age. It looked like an apple tree to me but it had no apples so maybe it's some other kind. Sitting on a stone fence was not the most comfortable place to rest!
And this pencil sketch is the view looking back up the road to the crest of the hill. To the right was a corn field and the sun was warm and friendly as I sat on the bumper of the car....
