Office Sketch and Value Study

Looking for a new subject to paint, I went through old, old photos I took once upon  30 years ago. I ran across one of a sad, forlorn looking house and tree. Their very starkness and barrenness were apparent in the photo years ago and still seem that way to me. At any rate, whether they will become a pastel painting is anyone's guess. I tried to create a values study using Tombow Dual Brush Pens, of a grayscale palette.  It's not quite right, but . . .  that's okay. That's why it's just the initial idea & sketch. Besides, in my next life, I'll be perfect.  Lol!!
