The Home Stretch

     
      Wild horses have not been able to drag me away from my grandson and family on the west coast, as evidenced from the date of my last post--it's been quite a while since I picked up my pencils! But, the call of an unfinished art work is a persistent one; it's time to get "back in the saddle"and bring it to completion at last.
      At this point, the sea of wind-whipped grass is more evidence of the strength of the gathering storm. What is perhaps not as obvious at first glance are the additional layers of graphite in many areas, but a careful comparison with the previous post will reveal the subtle changes. Patience and perseverance are required for this "home stretch"!
