Bull Elk Bugling

I great way to spend the day is to sketch.  I worked on this sketch of a Bull Elk Bugling in the Fall.  This was done on grey paper with White and Black Charcoal.

Cow Elk Sketch

Another in the series, of white and black charcoal.  It is late so enjoy and i got to go to bed.

Elk Sketch

More work with two tones of charcoal pencils.  This time I experimented with working on a Bull Elk with a full set of antlers. I sort of move into sets of things I feel like working on and I decided to work on these as a way to improve sketching and painting.

Wolf Sketch

This Wolf is yawning from being tired of winter weather or at least the yo-yo stuff we have been having recently.  So Yawning Wolf is done with white and black charcoal on grey paper.

Grizzly Bear Sketch

I worked on this with some other stuff today.  This is the best of what I worked on.  It is a charcoal sketch, white and black charcoal on grey paper.

I am back, and looking forward to Spring

I am back and I am looking forward to Spring.  It was warm today, but its sleet and wintery mix tomorrow.  Spring is not too far off.  Cherry Blossoms are not too far behind.

Steamboat Spruce - larger edition

I had started this back in November.  It is based off a small 6 inch by 12 inch painting for something I saw at Steamboat Ski Area, These back lit Spruce Trees.   I did this larger at 12 inch by 24 inch.  It needs a little bit of refinement and it will be complete.  I am finishing up the work trip and should be back to regular posting by this weekend.
