Grey Crowned Crane

This is a quick sketch I did in Kenya of a Grey Crowned Crane.  They were common and loud.   He was one of the easier birds to sketch as he mostly stayed on the ground.  I used a black Pentel Pen and a red Pentel Pen for the head and the cowl.

Alaska Fjord

This is a pencil sketch of one my favorite landscapes in the Tracey Arm Fjord in Alaska.  We went and saw this in September, which is a great time to visit.

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.
