Description Ink

I've been waiting for a brief from the publisher I'm working for to turn up. Rather than do nothing I filled my time with this.

Another two great inks added to my faves. What a genius this man is. It is such a skill to be able to convey this peace and quiet, also great memories of times past and visits to wonderful places. Thanks very much Monsieur.

Well when you bring out the big guns and start quoting Bob Dylan I just don't know what to say I wish I could comment and fave everything in your gallery, I'm still a big fan, it's just I don't have time to these days KEEP IT UP!

Darn you and your beautiful pieces, John! Why do you have that sensibility to capture haunting images?

Great piece I can imagine the trees and branches were quite time-consuming but they're quite worth it

Thanks very much for your kindly cursing Javier.

Well Yeah there is a fair bit of work in this one, but the idea of consuming time is a funny one if you think about it, because surely it's always time that does the consuming.I only mention this because I know you have an interest in timely matters.

Thank you very much.

This was a nice subject for me. Like many people I find ruins have a melancholy romantic quality which is very attractive. It's always fascinating to me to see nature reclaiming a place such as this.

It really is. Sometimes I wish I didn't live in a desert where plants can't grow like this. It's really beautiful.

I live in northern Utah. Over here, there's either three feet of snow in the winter or the little bushes people grow in their yards. Ruins like this just get dusty. XD

JohnPatience In reply to Calimarigirl [2010-02-01 16:50:08 +0000 UTC]

Well like many American place names Uta has a kind of glamor for me. Your idea of ruins getting dusty made me laugh. Maybe the governments should employ people to go around them with feather dusters.

Calimarigirl In reply to JohnPatience [2010-02-03 01:31:00 +0000 UTC]

Indeed. And they should really sweep all that dust out of the desert too. It's just terrible for hiking. XD

Yes it's very inconsiderate of someone to leave the place in that sorry state of affairs.

That's nice to hear.

I'm fine thanks Mia, I must say though that 61 doesn't sound so much of an achievement as 60 did.
I'm keeping busy through the winter and looking forward to taking a lot of time off in the summer.

JohnPatience In reply to Rita-Ria [2010-01-29 12:59:15 +0000 UTC]

If you're asking do I work from morning until night the answer is yes

To be serious I think your question is about the technique in which case the answer is also yes. Actually you're looking at my second attempt at this picture; I threw the first one away because I to put in too much detail in middle ground, and it got rather messy. When an ink drawing goes wrong there is not much you can do to rescue it.

Thanks for your answer - oh, I already thought, that ink is not a very forgiving medium - but honestly - you do (did) so well!!!!
