Circa 1940’s, loggers use a two-man chainsaw to fell a large Douglas-fir. Pen and ink.
It’s time for Mary and me to create a piece of art for charity once again. Every year we do something for the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference Forestry Education Auction. This pen and ink is my exploratory drawing for my painting. I like the direction it’s going. The tree and the background still needs some tweaking. I was helped out by the Forest History Society. They have an excellent photo library of vintage logging scenes and were kind enough to allow me use it for art reference.
Last year at the auction Mary and I each provide a piece of art. To liven things up we competed against each other. It was a big success. You can read about it here on Mary’s blog, And The Winner Is! In fact it was so successful that we are going head to head again this year. We’ll both be working on our paintings this weekend. I can’t wait to see the competition this year.

Nice drawing! Made me sing, “I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay…” 😄

“I sleep all night and I work all day”, belt it out Teresa! I want to see you sing it on YouTube! BTW, my all time favorite Monty Python bit. 🤣

Hah! I’ll skip the belting it out. Might hum a few bars under my breath. 😉

My motto when it comes to singing is “don’t worry about singing good just sing loud.” 😫
