No, it’s not a sports painting. This is not about the NFL.  This week’s art is the third week in a row where I did a detailed pencil sketch, smudged it with tissue, then went back over it with markers.

This time, instead of a city scene, I applied this technique to depict a view of a wildlife statue that’s outside of the Cabela’s in Wheeling.

Or at least it was fifteen years ago, when I took the photo that inspired this piece. I omitted the cars and power lines, and just focused on the shapes of the animals involved in the bronze fracas.

This was an alternate angle of the statue, which was the subject of a digital painting way back when. This one, I think, didn’t come out as good as the drawings of buildings that appeared in this space over the last two weeks, so I may go back to color paints next time. Some weeks the fingers just don’t cooperate as much as they do on a good day.
