Got some ideas flowing for the third Bedtime series drawing. Will begin to work on the sketches for it soon. Made some progress on the Ritterstrasse 11 drawing, hope to make some more before the night is complete.
Took a leisurely ride through the countryside today. Amish road and stopping at two Amish farms on the route. Saw kids playing and thoughts of Pennsylvania came to mind. The simplicity of the farm buildings and homes bring out the abstract views you find in a painting by Andrew Wyeth. Simple basic shapes for the buildings, blocks of color with slight variations and the lack of complexity brings out a realism so true to the simple joy of living. And a sky so lit up with high clouds in a sea of blue.
Sitting back now and listening to an ITunes Genius mix of folk and alternative. Iron and Wine, Patty Griffin, Josh Ritter, and Neko Case are just a few of the selections.
