Happy Halloween Tree

Sort of a hell traffic day, I guess everyone wanted to get home to Trick or Treat.  I messed around with this tree.  I am not totally satisfied with it but it will do. Happy Halloween.

Pippa the Pug or Happy Birthday Sister

Today is my baby sister's, Michele's birthday.  I won't say how old she is but one of her current babies is this Pug, Pippa, so I did this colored pencil sketch of her for the Sis.

Colored Pencil Harbor

This is another small study of water and boats with thunder clouds in the distance.

Welcome Back

I am back for the work trip and hopefully things will be a little calmer and I can get more artwork done.  I did not get much done of the trip but I did do this little pencil study of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

Coconut Palm Sketch

I finished this up tonight.  I enjoy the challenge of these trees with the white fronds and dark fronds behind.  I like how it looks and gives depth.  So I am out on business travel and I will be posting intermittently for the next two weeks.

Palmetto Palms Sketch

I have been working on this on and off for the who;e week.  It is a little bit complicated and not a quick draw.  All pencil and sort of fun if a bit slow.  Enjoy it, I certainly do enjoy the draw and the relax.

Hawaiian White Hibiscus Flower - Block-in

I started this Hawaiian White Hibiscus Flower Oil sketch this evening.  I have not been painting, just sketching so I decided to wet the brush this evening and start this up.
