At the Edge of the Woods

Spent part of a sunny November afternoon in North Carolina on the back side porch, sketching the woods and the wood pile. Went back in later and added some color, then did some more work with the pen, then added color again. Got the basic structures down and then took liberties with the details. The picture gradually worked its way into shape. Something about the strong verticals and layers receding into the distance that's satisfying to me.
