Fathers Day Sketching

For Fathers Day my wife gave me an amazing gift...time to sketch. She got a sitter for an afternoon for our two oldest and took me and the baby out to coffee in Skaneateles, NY. Taking in a slow lunch and some quick lines we had a relaxing time . . . a rarity and delight!

another fascination for me are the overlapping geometries in our backyard. with the angles of the roofs and the change of scale with the play-fort it makes a dynamic composition of figure and field relations. This sketch was exploring those geometries and the shadow play of the tree crown overhead.
