Adobe shed sketch

This is practice sketching and evening activity of an Adobe shed with old wood door.  I did most of it and felt I did the most interesting part.

Canyon de Chelly Sketch

More sketches for sanity and practice.  This is part of my evening relaxing and work on my skills.  Canyon de Chelly is in New Mexico.

Enchanted Mesa - Carl Redin

This is a pencil sketch I did of a Carl Redin's painting of Enchanted Mesa in New Mexico.  These sort of sketches are a good way to develop your understanding of tones and how better artists handle translating nature in to the language of painting.

Another Birthday

Earlier in the month,we had another birthday for my niece, Julia.  She is obsessed with the Minions and I help feed the obsession with these sketch cards.  I did not post this on her actual birthday because I was in the midst of the Red Feather Lake series of posts.  So Happy Birthday Julia.

Peyton and Pippa - the Pugs

These are colored pencil sketches of my sister's Pugs, Peyton is on the bottom and is the boy.  Pippa is up top and she is the little girl.  These were done for the sister's birthday.

The final Red Feathers Post

This is the final Red Feather's Post.  I did these quick sketches of my sister, her husband, my two nieces, and My wife and me.  We have all gone a spent time in that area of Colorado and it is well worth the trip.  I hope you have enjoyed the total set of postings on Red Feather Lakes.  I plan to do similar posts but those are still in my head or roughly in my sketchbooks.

My Kids in the Mountains of Colorado

So I have continued the tradition and have taken my kids up to the mountains in Colorado to include fishing and camping up at Red Feather Lakes.  Kerri, Tiffany, and James also can't just fish, anything which looks like a beach gets a sand castle built.
