The Unexpected Portrait

Lake Warner shack

 I took the canoe out Lake Warner and did this sketch of an old shack at the water's edge.

Mr Cone

Another crack at Mr. Cone.I'm still working on my enlarged sight sizing technique, this time using pencil on Bristol paper and trying for more precision.

I didn't have much time on site but was able to map out the locations of the principal elements on the page and start a rudimentary sketch. I took a photo ref and used that to fill in a lot of the detail at home, while simplifying and puling the composition together. The last two pix are my previous Mr. Cone attempts.

While I was drawing, a guy came out of the house behind me and asked if I was working on a total renovation - "This is your third time out here!" It turns out there was a plan afoot to install barriers to protect the cone eaters sitting in the parking lot from speeding cars, and he thought I was connected with that. He said he'd lived in that house all his life and remembered when the building had been a Tastee Freeze back in the 1960s. I had been curious about the style of building, especially after I saw excellent local artist @ann.cloutier.art 's painting of Cindy's Drive-in, clearly adapted from the same design.
