I began this yesterday when Grace invited me to share super after our trip to Digby. It is a two-day drawing because I noted the values yesterday but didn't fully fill in most areas until today. I'm imagining all the buildings & trees in dark, cool colours, with the sky and pale shrub in warm yellows.

I like this - and to me, it feels related to the drawings of musicians you just did!
Fascinating. Well, the same person drew them (of course). This one seems to be more about light on solid geometric forms, and the filled-in musicians are more about giving it some value structure to differentiate the people from each other...or so I thought when doing them.
I guess it's just because you've got an object in the foreground that leads you back to the rest, like the big guy with his back to you in the musician drawing. As Sharon would call it, a "narrator" object.
Yes, I well remember Sharon's "narrators"! And I notice I still put them in many paintings; I guess I like having something, usually at the lower right, leading in to the painting. I suspect it brings the viewer closer because they know this is not a long or distant view with that something right in the front.
David Hockney talks about this.
