Trying to get inspired to take out my colour pencils and get drawing again, I looked back at what has inspired me in the past. This old house was a starting point...
...which led to a more detailed look at the same house.
My friend actually lived in this old home and while sitting on his lawn, waiting for the barbecue to cook our meal, I noticed the pattern of the shadows cast by the setting sun.
This was one of the first old house drawings I did; another local deserted home close to where I live.
This old place attracted me because of its setting and also because the snow was melting and made interesting patterns in the corn rows.
I did a small series of old houses drawn on taupe, recycled paper. I just loved the effect.
One of my favourites I called Ghost House. Still love it.

More, more, more, please!
ReplyDeleteLove them, Ronna. I always wished I had a painting or drawing of my grandmother's old country house that burned to the ground in 1977. It was a devastating loss and one of my saddest memories. You are very talented, my dear.
ReplyDeleteYou talented you!
ReplyDeleteThe effect on the taupe recycled paper with the subject matter and your talent is a winner.
...and Deb, like my niece once said to me as a young child: at least you have the picture in your mind.
ReplyDeleteRonna, these are great. I love the mystery of a deserted house. My favorite is also the Ghost House drawing. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love how you capture the snow.

ReplyDeleteRonna, this is a fantastic series. Great work. :-) You also immediately took me back to some of my own memories of houses and drawing.
