Starry Night in Manitoba
ink
7.6 x 20.3 cm (3" x 8")

This is one of two illustrations that I did several years ago for a poster advertising art classes. I rediscovered the illustrations yesterday. My memory's not good, so I don't really remember what I was thinking when I did this drawing. I suspect that this one represents Manitoba at night in the winter, though there's nothing much in the illustration to suggested winter except a clear night and smoke drifting out from a chimney. Maybe it's late fall instead of winter.

Drawings like this illustration are always fun to do, although I find that I can only do a few before I start becoming very cranky. Why is that?

I'll post the second illustration some time next week.
