Two Masted wooden ship

A simple pen and ink sketch of a two masted wooden ship.  This is part of the nice thing about living near the Chesapeake Bay, plenty of wooden ships and fishing vessels passing through or on display.

Zebra

I feel like my Zebra friend. Wearing stripes all week long at normal work only to be sprung out on the weekends.  This is a pen and ink of a zebra from Kenya.

Vervet Monkey

Some days I feel like this Vervet Monkey I saw in Kenya.  Sitting on a log and wondering WTF.

Delicate Arch at Night

This is an Oil painting of Delicate Arch at night.  A visit to Arches National Park in Moab, Utah is well worth the addition to the bucket list.

More co-workers sketches

Since it is a snow day for DC.  (No one can drive in it so the authorities have given up on us).  I figured I would post a co-worker meeting sketch.  I have been caught a few times on this activity, but I am actually better at listening while sketching than if I let my mind glaze over in a meeting.

Another Blog for sanity and Creativity

http://blog.tigerpens.co.uk/journaling-keeps-you-sane-and-healthy/#more-6306

This is a link to another blog posting about the benefits of capturing thoughts, emotions and other things in some form.  This is a post about journaling and writing.  I think of my art as a visual journal to capture (However imperfectly) the things I see and feel in the world.  God knows I appreciate the feedback my art gives me daily.

Cumbre and Toltec Railroad

This is a pencil sketch of the Cumbre and Toltec Railroad in Southern Colorado/Northern New Mexico.  It is well worth the trip down there to see the train, ride the train and to see the San Juan range of the Rocky Mountains.
