Last week was the start of the back to school routine of getting up far too early for my taste. The dog is happy though, as it means we are also back to our morning walk. And really it's a good thing for me as well, so long as I remember to bring my camera along. Or in this case, my cell phone.
One of our neighbors has a long gravel driveway that wanders between a little creek and a corn field before heading up the hill. Friday morning the sun was just breaking through the mist behind the trees as I walked by, making wonderful highlights. Here's an excellent discussion on what artists refer to as the "magic hour", the time around sunrise and sunset.
I tried something a bit different this time: working from the image on my phone rather than loading it on to the computer. Having to work from such a small image was challenging yet good, as not being able to see the details made simplifying easier. The fact that the image was still fresh in my mind helped too. I initially tried getting the sunbeams in the mist, but that didn't really work and as it turned out, wasn't needed.

I like the touches of purple throughout, really holds the drawing together well.
