Beach Clouds - Finished

I tweaked the Beach Clouds painting by making some small fixes to the clouds, horizon and the beach area at the bottom.  I added a two masted sail boat anchored off shore.  This was done in oil painting.

Water Lily - the Finish

So, I worked on this today, I started back painting after a bit of a sketch of no painting, just pencil sketches.  It felt good, so I worked on this Water Lily painting from August.  It helps to leave something alone and then see it after some time with fresh eyes.

Happy Birthday James

Happy Birthday James! He would have been 31 today. I miss my adventure partner.

Palm Fronds sketches

Tonight's practice, a couple of Palm Frond sketches with pencils.

Happy Halloween Tree

Sort of a hell traffic day, I guess everyone wanted to get home to Trick or Treat.  I messed around with this tree.  I am not totally satisfied with it but it will do. Happy Halloween.

Pippa the Pug or Happy Birthday Sister

Today is my baby sister's, Michele's birthday.  I won't say how old she is but one of her current babies is this Pug, Pippa, so I did this colored pencil sketch of her for the Sis.

Colored Pencil Harbor

This is another small study of water and boats with thunder clouds in the distance.
