Thinking about my cousin, Gil Frey who died last week. A number of years ago he had me draw the house he grew up in as a present for his brother Dale, who also died this year. Although the house still exists on Gramby Street in Manheim, it was necessary to make changes and tell many stories. I will miss my cousins but the drawing will help me remember the stories. Photo is of my Uncle Frank Frey, Aunt Mary with Dale and Gil.

Fred Swarr and I just spent an enjoyable evening with the folks from Mt. Gretna as they begin to plan for their 125th Anniversary. This logo is the first of a number of pieces of art which I am hoping to produce for the celebration.

Measuring at 14” by 24”, the original of this print is among the largest drawings I’ve ever done. This posed some challenges that I did not anticipate. Having mounted the drawing on a plexiglass drawing board that measured 24” x 30” required me to do much more leaning and stretching than normal.

One of the principles of perspective drawing which I have always subscribed to is the method of simplifying the subject by concentrating on the simple geometric shapes, which are visible in most illustration subjects. It is no wonder then that on a visit to Franklin and Marshall College in the fall of 2004, I decided to photograph this scene.
