Bear Cub with Salmon

I worked on this as a Birthday card for my brother-in-law Danny whose Birthday is today.  I will probably tweak the foreground and get this cub into the water tomorrow with better detail.  I used colored pencil and pentel ink pen to do this sketch.  So I fixed the water, fresh eyes make it easier.

River Access sketch

Tonight's sketch is a pencil sketch looking towards a river through the trees.  Enjoy!

Beach Clouds

I have been working on this Beach Clouds for the last two nights.  Tonight I think it has a better show of progress.  I think i posted the block-in on this but I cannot find the first picture to post so you just get this one tonight.  It is late and I need  go to bed.  You can probably scroll back and find it.  This is a 9x12 oil and I am just working on the clouds, the edges between the various layers and the water surface.

Rabbit

This has been a busy odd weekend so not much artwork done.  This is a mixed media Rabbit of colored pencils and pentel ink pens for the fur texture.

Scottish Highlands - The trees

I started to add the trees to the middle ground so this is almost finished

Scottish highlands - Part Three

Tonight's post is the continuing work on the Scottish Highlands.  I was not happy with the sky and I worked on it some to add depth and texture to the clouds and the sky.  I added some foreground and middle ground details and started to sort out the reflections.  I will add some tree details to the middle ground and to the high ground on the left.  This is pretty close to the finish just some small things to make the difference.

Wife's Birthday

Yesterday was my wife Barbara's Birthday.  We were running around at the beach and dinner so I am posting this a day late.  She really likes the Day of the Dead motif so I usually do something along those lines for her.  This was done in colored markers. So Happy Birthday Love.
