This is called “Coffee or Tea”. I may have shown you already, but if I can’t remember, maybe you can’t either! It is sold, so don’t get too attached. . . or, maybe I could be persuaded to draw it again. (Hi Linda!)
http://cabinart.net/wordpress/?p=470 This posting was about drawing pencils, and I ended with several questions. Last week I received an answer to “What in the world does F stand for?” It stands for Fine, which is because that particular pencil can be sharpened to a fine point. This leaves me with more questions, as usual. (I have always asked questions because inquiring minds NEED to know! My dad used to say to me in exasperation, “Don’t ask any more questions!”) So, why single this pencil out for a fine point? All pencils can be sharpened to a fine point with a decent sharpener? How does this F pencil fit into the H and B categories? Why is it necessary? Who decided this was a necessary pencil?

Hi Jana,
Yes, Coffee or Tea looks even better in a frame hanging on the Jana Botkin wall of my living room. In addition to the above, I have a print of the Kaweah postoffice that Grey gave me as a “thanks mom gift” the year you had your exhibit in Idaho Falls. My greatest JB treasure is another gift from Grey – the split rail fences she bought at the same show. The miniatures hang elsewhere just waiting for an addition to the JB collection.
Keep that pencil, or paint brushes moving! Thanks for the winter pictures of Mineral King – thank the gods Disney didn’t get his way all those years ago when he wanted to turn MK into a ski resort!!!!
Linda
