By now I have a good idea of what scenes would make a good scratchboard drawing. Every now and then I’ll catch a glimpse of an image that I know is just right, and this was one of those times. It would have been nice if I could have quickly run out there and taken a photograph, but I don’t have the equipment or the skill for that. The scene was too good to pass up, so, I put on as many layers as I could, got out my warmest hat and gloves and took my folding chair out to the edge of the woods, and drew as quickly as I could.
