Pencil Reminiscing, Part Eleven

This is the final part of our Pencil Reminiscing series. This last set of pencil notecards is Mineral King again. This one was done near the end of the last century, after I figured out how to handle the textures of landscape views. I don’t remember where this set falls in the sequence of notecard sets, but it seems fitting to conclude this series of posts with Mineral King.

These views still look the same today. Well, not TODAY, but last summer, and hopefully the summer of 2020, after all the snow melts.

  1. I love this set, I still have a set of them. There was some special feeling you caught in your old drawings.

    • Thank you, Virginia! Lots of people save the cards instead of using them.

  2. This is the set I most remember … and my favorite, of course! Thank you for taking us on your pencil journey.

    • Sharon, my memory is faint, but I think you might own the original Sawtooth drawing from this set. The date is 1997, and I’m pleased to say that the drawings don’t embarrass me. On the flip side, does this mean my growth as a pencil artist ceased last century?

      • “Close, but no cigar,” as they say. I emailed you a photo of the one I have.

        • Sharon, I guess I’ve drawn Sawtooth so many times that they are all blending into one big picture.

          • Kinda like the honeymoon cabin or Crowley Resort view? 🙂
