Pen and Ink
Last night I looked through my art magazines and found some articles on doing work with pen and ink. I'll use those illustrations as examples of ink work, and I'll also get my old ink drawings to show when I do the demonstration this afternoon. I'm scheduled for 6-7 and the show goes till 8 tonight. I really don't expect many people to come to a demo at that time, but I still need to be prepared in case there is some interest. It seems to me from past years that people tend to come when the show first opens and those who come in the later hours, just before it closes, just want to walk through and look at the displays. Still, this demonstration in pen and ink is what is on my mind this morning.
But first, I have to be at a graveside funeral service at 11 this morning. It will be at a plot in the cemetery beside the road where there is a lot of traffic. Some years ago we buried the husband there and had a graveside service. It was difficult to hear when truck traffic went past. It was also cold. Today would have been their wedding anniversary. The family chose this day for the service, even though it meant waiting a couple of weeks to bury the ashes. They chose this day because of the anniversary. It will be a hard day for them, one daughter told me, and they would rather have the family together than each of them go it alone today. So it's going to be a bitter-sweet day.
