among these dark satanic mills

among these dark satanic mills

another "pen & ink" fountain pen test, and I liked drawing tree branch silhouettes with it, very real trees on f street, near the record shop. Again the lines stayed fast but the ink still bled into the wash giving the sunset a greyish quality i actually expected and so don't mind.
What is it about bare, sharp branches against an evening sky that creeps people out? It's only life, shooting off in every direction, uncontrolled and unpredictable. Then again, it's easier to be scared of life than trees.

Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow, folks

Wow, thats just splendid. I find drawing tree branches a lot harder than I imagined them to be...
