On the Raccoon

"Early Spring on the Raccoon," wc/ink on paper, 8x10

Last weekend was warm enough to work outdoors. The sketch group found locations in Waterworks Park. Mine was a spot I'd never essayed before, on a bend of the Raccoon. Unlike only a few days earlier, there was a fine hazy green in some of the trees lining the banks, and the honeysuckle undergrowth was bursting into full leaf. The river was running free and showing its usual silty color.
