Lisbon Farm Charcoal

Here is the current state of the large charcoal of a nearby farm.  Below is the on location watercolor sketch and the very beginnings of this charcoal.  This drawing is relatively complete.  I'll do a little more work on the grass in the foreground, the sky,  and the pond in the mid ground but very few small adjustments.

I've added the pond and the rock wall to the composition.  Not original to the location, but as I worked on the sketch the idea occurred to me and is something I've seen throughout many New England Farms - including one in my hometown of Westbrook, Maine, at a classmates family farm (Wormell's).  I hope to go back to paint the farm pond there sometime soon if it is even still in existance.  

The pond in this drawing is another example of something that isn't there in reality, but is not so far out of place to be totally fictional or unrealistic.

I'll set this aside once completed but later use it as the basis for an oil painting.
