This scanned a teeny bit crooked I think.
It looks straight in the book. Hmmm...
That's one of those old boats called a Sampan
that he's building just in case you were wondering.

The lyrics are from the song "Union Sundown"
I decided to begin drawing again, following a list of challenges on a Yahoo group called "Everyday Matters". I wanted tight restrictions on myself, to stay focused I guess, so I decided to draw only things on that list that I could connect to a Bob Dylan lyric. So the only text that I'll include on my drawings will be lyrics. And I'll list the song the lyric is from. So here we go...

Lovely, sort of 'moody' piece of art work.
Really nice colors against the black.
I like how did this with a border around, the colours work well on the black.
I am very familiar with sampan =) I really like how the pages are laid out(unmistakably your style actually)
You really had an interesting art teacher for having you to draw car parts... ^^ Crank shaft would definitely be a challenging one I must say. Thank you for your comments
Such character in the man, and I love the presentation, with the words surrounding him and the leaf border. And I love the red background. I have to remember that - don't think I've ever done a red background to anything!
I thought about Ernest Hemingway when I saw you work... Well done!
Serious Awesomeness..'nuff said.
Thank you Elza, I don't think it's quite as moody as it looks here. Colors are a bit brighter.

BarbaraB and Cathy, thank you. I need to try to work away from the black soon or I may get addicted. (I probably alreay am)

Alex, I loved that teacher. And yeah, the car parts were nothing you could fudge on. Good practice and some were downright beautiful drawings.

Dan, thank you yet again. Character! I like that!! Not a bad thing to see in a person. One of my favorite quotes (I'm a quote collector) is "Reputation is what you are in the light. Character is what you are in the dark" Just thought I'd mention that. :)

elena, I like that1 he does have a bit of Ernest's look, doesn't he? Thank you!

Jolene, thank you. Very much!
It really is lovely. It's so rich looking with the deep colors and the black background. And the border just sets it off perfectly. Well done! nancy
