Steps to NowhereI am sharing this image under the Creative Commons license. (see sidebar)
This is an image of some steps that once led to a home in the now abandoned settlement of La Manche. The isolated fishing community was resettled in the 1960's after severe storms wrecked fishing stages and buildings.
These steps are being reclaimed by nature with trees and moss blending them into the forestscape.
I started this drawing as a doodle then got caught up it in. The shoes were done in graphite, but begged for colour so I put in a layer of watercolour pencil that was handy. I'll continue working on it, purely for pleasure as this is a sketchbook piece and is originally this week's drawing challenge on WetCanvas. I loved the shape and lines of the shoes.

I've been going through the various blogs that I follow, and keep coming bck to Steps to Nowhere. What a wonderfully evocative piece!
Charlene, the lighting and mysterious feel of finding these steps in the woods made them irresistable to photograph.

Thank you Elli. I'm making progress on the shoes and will post another update soon.
