Ruby Throated Hummingbird

Snowy, sleety day in Maryland. I have been fighting a headache all day, so new art.  This is a colored pencil sketch of a male Ruby Throated Hummingbird in warmer days.

Stellar Sea Lions

Stellar Sea Lions frolicking on an island in Auk Bay near Fairbanks, Alaska.  They were loud and happy.  They were enjoyable to see and to draw in pencil.

Crow Woman Statue

This is a pencil sketch of another artist's statute of a Native American woman with a Crow head.  I am going to search around and add the name of the artist and the piece.  I did this about ten years ago for practice and for myself.  I really liked the idea and captured it in pencil.

G -Man

This is a Pen and Ink of an Old School G-Man with a Thompson Sub-Machine Gun, a Smith and Wesson revolver, and Fedora.

New Dungeness Lighthouse

This is pencil sketch of the New Dungeness Lighthouse in Washington State.  So if you are leaving Seattle by ship look for this house on the port side as you depart thew Puget Sound and head out into the Pacific.  She sits on a spit of land separated from the main land.  Salmon like the waters off the shore as we saw some jumping clear of the water.

First Painting - Still Life Acrylic

This is my first acrylic painting in my first Art Class with teacher, Jan Peterson.  It is a still life of dried flowers and seed pod.  I was 11 years old.  I made this a present to my God Mother Karen Stevens.  She gave it back to me about 20 years later.

Pen and Ink mailboxes

TGIF, very little art done this week, so this is a pen and ink I did 20 years ago.  I had been doing these since I was a kid, not an original design from me, but I don't remember exactly were I found it.  I have done a few of these for family and add their names to the main mailbox.
