And Again...

This was a fun one to draw: same velux window as before, but leaning right out so I could see the roofs and chimneys to the right.

chimneys

Trouble was, it was weird weather: every few minutes a massive rain storm would descend, so I'd have to stop and close the window quick. Then it would finish just as suddenly, so I'd start again, only for it to repeat over again. I ended up drawing this in 5 short (damp) spurts!

I played around in Photoshop later, without any clear plan: just tinkering to see what would happen. Thought it looked kind of interesting...

The original drawing is on my Picture Gallery blog - http://lynnespictures.blogspot.com/

This feels like Snow White lives there. Or Mary Poppins anyway!

can you do this in one color and broad strokes - great abstract potential!
