The Forest thru the Trees

More pencil work tonight, this is literally the forest thru the trees.  I am working on being able to built layers with the pencil and this will build towards better paintings.

Another tree sketch for tonight's post.  This is a pencil sketch of an Oak tree in spring time with the leaves starting to bud out.

Lombardi Popular sketch

Back to trees, I sketched this evening while the wife watches HGTV and plots remodels with my spare time.  Oh well, I prefer to sketch.

Aspen Study in pencil

Happy Monday, I use false motivation to keep me motivated for the regular job.  d to run around after work to help the daughter with car trouble, so did not have a lot of time to work on anything.  I did get a little pencil time and knocked out this study of Aspen trees.

Alaska Fjord Waterfall - part 2

Happy Sunday, I dug this out and worked on it today.  It is not finished but it is getting closer.  It is not unusual for me to put paintings aside and let it sit.  It helps with the frustration and sometimes confusion over what needs to be fixed.  Out of sight, out of mind definitely works.  I will work on the ground foliage, rocks, and the water.  There will probably be a few other tweaks I need to do but they will make sense when I make the adjustments.
