Pen & Ink Drawings - some are do-overs!

This is a drawing I finished a couple of weeks ago. Actually I finished it for the second time, as I wasn't satisfied with my first rendition. That happens sometimes - well, actually too many times. I draw someone's home - look at it and decide that it's not "right", so then I have to start all over again. With this drawing I had put in each individual brick and the overall effect was that it made the drawing look muddy. So I drew it again. It came out much better this time around. And I learned something. Each drawing teaches me something. ■ There's a laundry list of thing to get done before our cruise and one of them is that I desperately need to get a haircut. This ol' gray hair continues to grow! ■ Went and got a haircut. It was badly needed. When I left the house it was sleeting; when I drove home it was raining; and now it's snowing. Snow, snow, snow! I'm tired of it. I want warmth. I want spring . . .
6:45 pm - And look at the radar picture on the right --> look at all of that precipitation. We may get between 5 and 7 inches of snow! I'm tired of shoveling.
