Another Mine Drawing

I'm almost 100% (well 96%) recovered from my broken shoulder last October (I've been very lucky recovering so much) and I think in the next few months I'll make those last few remaining percentage points, but the drawing continues. Been trying to get more drawing done from photos I took when I was last in Park City working on the yard for reducing water usage.   Here is the resulting drawing that was just completed.  It's an 8x10 of the big mine in Thayne's Canyon from a different angle.  I thought that it turned out great.  The perspective from the ground and the little bit of a wide angle gave it that bowed in look towards the tower.  the stairway is awesome as are the power lines running though it.  It just turned out great. This summer I'm going to take a number of my PC / mine drawings to my son and daughter still in Utah for hang in their homes. Enjoy.

For Friends in Park City

We have many friends back in Park City.  We lived there for 30+ years before moving to our NC House.  One a year we get back to PC to see the kids and fix up our rental house (and reduce H2O usage, etc) and it's during this time we catch up with old friends. Among them is Doug and Nancy that live in a restored miners house above Old Town Park City (like the Last house above Main Street).  Very nice old house and fabulous yard where they can see the whole of downtown.  It was during the last trip where I snapped a photo of their house that I wanted to draw from. And this is the resulting drawing.  Great yard, house and with the fine filled ridge line in the background.  I do these drawing from time to time of someones house and then give them the drawing (framed).  It would mean more to them than myself and it belongs inside the house itself. So enjoy Doug & Nancy and thanks for taking Shay and myself hiking and to lunch when I was out there.
