Shenandoah Memory


This is what the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia looks like in late August. The greenery is still lush but there are touches of yellow. In the distance, looking very blue, are the famous Blue Ridge mountains. I did this sketch from memory. I didn't use a photograph. I suspect most landscape art is enhanced by the artist's memory. I think this area is one of the most beautiful places in the whole world.

Colored pencils on sketchbook page, 7 1/4" x 8 3/4", August 25, 2017.
