Bar Fly - W Bar in NYC

I don't usually hang out in a Hotel Bar but, I did like the looks of W Hotel's Bar in Manhattan, NY, a few years back.  A fun quick sketch and if you don't like it - I can blame the Single Malt Whiskey.

Eye Doctor's Office Equipment

Have you ever noticed the equipment at the Doctor's Office is always the most intriguing?  I visited the Eye Doctor and sketched the eye test machine while I waited.  It was a longer wait than I expected and I got to finish up more of the device.  Great use of time.

Delicate Arch, Utah - Oil Painting study

I did this small oil painting study when we lived in Utah.  This is of Delicate Arch in Arches National Park.   The family and I have hiked up to it many times and it has been a treat each time.  The arch and surrounding terrain is beautiful and the light is always changing.  One of the best shows in nature. 

Rehohobeth Beach Watercolor

Barb loves the beach, so I try to get her there, unfortunately it is not as often as I would like.  I did get to Rehohobeth beach in Delaware and enjoyed a little watercolor while she beachcomber.

Catch and Release - Trout Sketch

I enjoy an occasional fishing expedition.  This is a sketch of a friend's trout before release back to the river in Colorado.  Fishing is another activity to help preserve sanity.  Pretty much anything outside is good.  SO get away from the TV and get outside.

Airplane - EA-3B Skywarrior

This is a quick sketch about 15 minutes of an aircraft parked outside the NSA.  You can see this if you go to their museum.  I think they have four aircraft but this one was the most interesting to me for a sketch.

This was Veterans Day

So I had a peaceful Veteran's Day.  I went to Sky Meadow State Park in VA.  I did a Plein Air painting with professional artist and all round great guy, Armand Cabrera.  This was some of the last foliage still surviving November.  I will use this outdoor study for a studio piece.  I have a few things I want to change and improve.
