A Couple of Drawings to Pave the Way for Oil Pastel Paintings

the lines in my Oil Pastel work of late have strong burnt lines in the illustration board.  Those lines have their beginnings in my drawings.
Spring will come to us and so I got out some works from my garden and the woods and began drawing.
I put them up on the website because when I view the site I often see the drawing -and my finished pictures in a different light.  And, sometimes, I make further changes, if I can.
The swirls are my directional lines that will not appear in the final painting.

I am not pleased with the dark back ground for this beginning  Spring painting.
