Marbles

Today I was at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio sitting the show this afternoon.

We had a large number of people coming in to view the current show, Rural Scenes and I was not able to work on a painting.















Instead, when I came across a couple of marbles in the pencil tray on the desk, I started working on a few sketches of marbles.

I was fairly pleased with the three sketches and I may develop them into paintings at a later date.

Today I was on a telephone call with my brother and while I was talking with him I decided to doodle.

I was just playing with simple shapes and I ended up with a drawing of a marble and its shadow.















I liked the simplicity of the image and in the future I may do a series with more than one marble or perhaps marbles of various colours and types.
