Carcass
Posted: September 26, 2020 Filed under: Uncategorized 14 CommentsIn Angell Woods there’s a car skeleton that I’ve been admiring for many years, but I’m always walking Alice when I go there so I never have time to draw. This time I went into the woods without the dog to sketch this aqua beauty. The problem though, is that Angell Woods is still a place where everyone else walks with a dog. As proof, if you click on the image to enlarge it you will see on the far right lower corner of the sketch the area where a dog slobbered on my sketchbook, and a blurry area on the top right where another dog put his whole drooly face on the book and almost knocked me over into the dirt in the process. It’s a good thing I like dogs.

Yes, and I still have dirt on the page. So I can never forget it!

Those unintended marks gives it character! At least that is what my granddaughter told me about her painting over a section of one of my paintings. I love it and honestly, I thought it was part of the design until I read about it. Like Bob Ross used to say, those are happy accidents.

I guess they added another little wet in wet area where I could drop in some paint. Although I’m not sure what dog drool does to my good brushes : ) As for Bob Ross, I saw a little promo for him on PBS last night. Of course I know who he is but I had no idea how many shows he did. There’s even an exhibition of his work in Penticton BC this summer. I would have love to see those paintings in person!

In the woods that I paint in there are volunteers that keep it tidy and remove dumped vehicles! Can’t you engender some community spirit amongst your fellow residents?!😊 Anyway, nice painting!

Thanks Michael. There are lots of volunteers who clear the paths and mark them, but I think the two dead cars are highlights of the walk for some people. And kids love them. So I guess they are there to stay.

I’m glad I made you laugh Pam. It was pretty funny but I don’t think I was laughing when it happened.

Hi Shari-
I was wondering if your “Dark Beauties” might still be for sale. If so, please let me know.
