Eclipse Blue


Remember the total eclipse? Huh? It was only a few weeks ago, but Nature had other plans to divert our interest and harass us. We got Hurricane Week instead. You don't need special shade glasses to see a hurricane. This little design sketch fits into a journal place left open for more art on the page, retroactively themed to current events. This is about all the eclipse I ever saw. I tried here to capture the eerie shade of blue in partial shadow. The highest amount of sun coverage in my area was 85 percent. An eclipse doesn't wreck your town though. 

Colored pencils and white markers on sketchbook page, 2 1/4" x 5", September 10, 2017. Click for closer view, no shades needed.
