Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my Mom's Birthday.  She and my Dad are a huge animal lovers.  I sent her as a gift a sketchbook of my practice animal sketches.  The final sketch is of their rescue Australian Shepard, Marley.   So have great day, Mom.

Roadside Pennsylvania Part 2

This is the same scene from yesterday but it is on grey paper with charcoal and white chalk.

Roadside Pennsylvania

This is a road side view I captured during a summer drive through Pennsylvania.  I caught this out of the corner of my eye and quickly captured the view and fleshed out this sketch as the passenger in the car.  The road side in the Keystone state was spectacular, with light green grass, white, orange, pink, flowers.  Mixed in also was a dark brown amaranth spikes.  Nice typical summer sky with big puffy clouds.

Polar Bear with Pickelhaube

I use to belong to a support group at work and this was our symbol, a polar bear with a pickelhaube or old german helmet from 100 years ago.  The support group would meet at various bars in downtown DC and would imbibe to de-stress.  Thank God, I am not in that job anymore.  If you need a bear in a helmet time to move on.
