This windmill caught my attention as I scouted the property. Lured back here by a wonderful old truck against the tree line, my eyes soon found many wonderful painting subjects! I had one small paper and one small frame left from my 4 plein air events - so I used them for this! Choosing pen and ink, I sketched most of the lines before I started on the blades. The wind was blowing, making it very hard to see them! I focused on one blade at a time, following it with my eyes as I sketched. It made me a little motion sick to concentrate on a spinning object! It was worth the effort - I do love windmills and this drawing found a new home, too! Painting number 3180 in 3180 days
