“OPEN BOOK”
SPONSORED BY“One of the nicest compliments I’ve received,” says
Tim Oliver (timoliverart.com) “was from someone who
said: ‘You seem to like scenes that the rest of us just drive
by.’ I am, for whatever reason, drawn to ordinary and
ubiquitous things. I love the land and the sky, but I really love
the place where they meet past or present human activity.
There’s always a story there that I’m drawn to. For this sketch,
I was on my way home from Midland, Texas, to Lubbock,
and I was struck by the image of these two oil rigs drilling
close to each other late in the day. Never without my
sketchbook and kit, I pulled over and captured my
impression from the tailgate of my pickup.”YOUR TURN!
