Pencil Shavings

Yesterday's work. I actually spent some time in the studio last night, something which I have not done in a long time as it tends to get rather chilly in the studio during the winter months, after dark. In any event, I really was having fun 'noodling' yesterday so after dinner, and with a dirth of anything to veg out and watch on TV last night, I decided to get back into it. This piece is going very fast and I am pleased, as I really would like this to be the beginning of several African subject works and I can tell by the way I seem to be really into this one, that I will most likely tackle several other pieces based on African reference after this one. It feels darn good to have the Serengeti running through my thoughts once again! Now, if I could only figure out a way to get myself back to Africa sometime in the next year or two . .
