An older drawing on black roofing paper. As time passed and I got a better grasp of my materials, I produced much better drawings.

Sketch (under the mulberry tree)

admin — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 19:12:26 +0000

A second work-in-progress that hasn’t been worked on in two days. The mulberry tree in the lower portion of the image is a neighborhood congregation place for cards, dominos and just hanging out. Some of the other parts of the image refer to Florida relatives. I plan to add some more drawing and text to the image.
