I made a video about some charcoal drawings done during a recent visit to central New York, when the landscape that I love was covered with new snow, in all of its graphic beauty. For the best experience, please view the video at full screen size (after pressing the "play" arrow, click the little square at the bottom right of the video screen.)
Please let me know if you like this sort of thing and would like to see more! I'm planning to do another that explains the materials in more detail, and some that show drawings in the actual process of being made.
Below are the finished drawings shown in the video. Enjoy! It was such a pleasure to make them, and I'm looking forward to doing more.
Love the drawings and the vid!

Thank you for sharing that. I suspect it takes quite a bit of effort to explain as you work through your drawing. I learned things!
Stay warm!

It is good to hear your voice and see these drawings of a beloved place.

Mike, thanks for writing! Hope to see you sometime when we're down there. We found Chanatry's market in Utica this time around - that was a good discovery, and also the artisanal bakery and cheese shop on the arterial. Is there an actual art supply store anywhere?
Thanks, Peter. Glad you liked the video! I enjoy making them and will do some more; they teach me things too.
am: thank you. I hope to do more of these.
Hi Henry! Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked these. Of course that landscape always has you in it too, for me.

Quite struck by your "central New York" work. Lived there 12 years (West Edmeston) and it is JUST like that!
