The book The Cabins of Wilsonia is completed, published and for sale.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch (where did that saying come from?), I still draw cabins in pencil. (I oil paint too, but that’s a different subject on a different blog, cabinart.net, a blog that covers all aspects of my art business).

Some folks liked my work in the book, but it only contained a drawing of their chimney. They asked me to draw their entire cabin.

It took us over a year to work out the details of what they wanted, We began with a few sketches, which then needed to be discussed and revised.

There were details they wanted to be sure appeared in the drawing that were just too small to appear in the sketches. When they were convinced that I knew all the little things that mattered to them, I was able to begin.

 

I work from left to right, top to bottom, to avoid smearing.

 

And finally, finished!

We were all very pleased with the outcome!
