I love when I first land on a spot and it calls to me to paint it! A special private estate paint during the Steelville Plein Air, it was a treat to experience this place with pen and ink. I loved the rather dramatic view from the side of the front lawn, so I set up drawing tucked in close to a tree for shade. Summer is here and so is the heat! I used one of my favorite TWSBI fountain pens to draw this coming in with a little water to get my midtones. I love the nostalgic feel of pen and ink - especially on handmade paper. What a pleasure it has been, drawing while music played in the backyard, with our amazing host offering sustenance and smiles. I have the best job ever! Painting number 3095 in 3095 days.
