Indian Summer

5 x 8 Sketchbook/ink drawing with watercolor

Picture late afternoon. You are in northern Wisconsin at your cabin on Lake Tippecanoe.  The sun is getting low now in the horizon just off to your left and back...warming your shoulders and throwing nice shadows from your sun hat across the sketchbook.  You are alone. Dressed in comfy jeans and an old shirt.  Only the sounds of lapping water and autumn crickets. 
A few acorns fall.  "Yet-green" tomatoes shine in the pot by the Aldo Leopold Bench.  Time stands still.
Quiet.

  1. Many times I have sat next to Charlyne's dock and just soaked up the soft warm breeze and listened to all the sounds of late summer. You have captured that feeling with beautiful watercolor and made me very nostalgic!
