Saturday Is For Art: A few Pencil Drawings

Here is a drawing of a couple of houses in the Oregon District of Dayton, Ohio that were exhibited in the Old Court House on Main Street in downtown Dayton in November, 1995. The drawings were done on foam-core board with a drawing surface on one side in pencil. I used several different hardness of pencils. There are actually two separate drawings, but they become one piece when I inserted them in to the window frame that I savaged from my 2-family back in Cincinnati. The height of the drawing is 16 inches with an overall length of 44 inches. In 2004, I started another large pencil drawing, but put it aside for a few years before I went back to it and completed it in 2007. This piece I titled MY ICONS, and I placed it too in an old wood window that I savaged from the apartment I lived in when I worked in Columbus Ohio. I have always loved drawing and looking a drawings. Drawing with a pencil, as a little boy, was my first art work. Too bad I never saved any of those early pieces. : )
