Grizzly Bear - Scratchboard

This is a scratchboard of a Grizzly Bear from a few years ago.  I have seen bears in the wild four times now.  Grizzlies - twice in Yellowstone NP, Alaska; and Black Bears - twice in Upstate New York, and near a dumpster in a campground in Colorado.  I have more Bear art I would like to do.  Some will be seen here on the Blog.

Farewells - Delicate Arch

I have a co-worker who is heading home to Utah to take a new job.  He likes to sketch some too, so his coworkers are sending him off with a new sketchbook and journal.  We were suppose to add a little sketch of our own as opposed to the good bye card.  I did a quick sketch with watercolor pencils of Delicate Arch, in Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah.

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. 

Travel Art - Heading Home

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.
