Trees and Fences

Pencil pastels on 8 1/2 x 11 sketch paper. This sketch is from an oil painting class required sketchbook, later the basis for a 24x48 oil painting. The scene is just outside my front door and a friend looking through my sketchbooks noted that these corner posts show up often in the background of other sketches. I worked on this sketch from late afternoon until dusk and the sky was redrawn several times to reflect those changes.
