Africa - Masai Mara, kenya

This is a quick silhouette of an Acacia tree and Impala.  The sun is a little distorted but I really was concentrating on the tree and the different branch shapes.  I went to Kenya a few years ago and I can highly recommend it.

Horse Sketch

This is a quick sketch of a horse.  What I really liked was the bridle and the reins.  I love the detail and how they crossed over the horse's face and the variety of the shapes they make.  Hopefully, I got it right.  I am sure the Horse people will let me know where I erred.

Last day of Travel Art - I flew Lufthansa last year, so I captured the front of my Airbus before getting on to fly home to the DC area.

Travel Art - Old Sign

I little more travel art.  This is an old travel sign from a fishing resort near the Cache La Poudre Canyon in Colorado.  This was a quick watercolor and pen sketch.  I look forward to do more of this in the future.

Travel Art - The Brother-in-Law

This is a travel art sketch of my brother-in-law Kelly.  He was nice enough to stay still with his scotch for me to do a quick sketch.  I really should do more people sketches, it is the only way to get better.  This was from a fishing trip up in the Colorado Mountains.

Travel Art - New Orleans Airport

More Travel Art - I was sitting waiting for my departure flight at the Louis B. Armstrong Airport in New Orleans.  The airport has a great sign on the main building.  I did not finish the building but it was not the interesting part.  If you fly into New Orleans the landing route over Lake Pontchartrain has a great view of the causeway leading towards downtown New Orleans.

Travel Art - JFK

The Boeing 737 waiting at the JFK airport gate.  I like sketching the planes, they move less than the people waiting.  I think this was a Jet Blue plane for a quick trip to NYC a few years back.
