“I can’t paint, but I can draw and generally color within the lines.”
That’s the motto of Ashburn artist George Hegedus. And he’s being modest.
This information technology executive, husband and father picked up a fun hobby during his pandemic downtime – using colored pencils (and sometimes other media) to create charming “folk art” showing scenes from around Ashburn as well as other communities where he has lived.
“Little to no training? Check. A flattened perspective? Check. An expression of community life? Check,” he said.
Hegedus, who lives in Ashburn’s Farmwell Hunt neighborhood, has been drawing since childhood in Arlington Heights, Ill.
