Hull
Posted: June 21, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 4 CommentsIt’s hard enough drawing the hull of a boat but drawing it while dealing with shad flies is even harder. They flew into my palette, landed on my sheet, stuck to my clothing and tried their best to get into my mouth. It’s like this every year if you live near the lake but thankfully the season is short, as is the lifespan of the fly itself. Sometimes they are so abundant near outdoor lights that city crews need to sweep them up in the morning.
What a gem this is, the reflected light, the colors of a hot summer day, the perspective
every aspect of this sketch inspire me . Everyday I get such pleasure at seeing all of them
Thank you for sharing .
Thanks Elaine. I really appreciate your comments.
This looks so cool and inviting, Shari.
As for the shad flies, a lifespan of a few hours is short indeed.
Thanks Rhoda. I have to skip a page in my Moleskine today because the following page in the book is filled with squished shad flies.
