Tree study in Brown

This is tonight's post.  This is done in brown ink and two tones of brown pencils.  Probably warmer in this than the outside temp here in Maryland.  Staying warm inside by the fire.

Happy New Year's Day

No big resolutions for 2018. I plan to just keep drawing and painting as part of the work towards 10,000 hours.  Happy New Year's to you all.

China Bicycles

Earlier in the year, I traveled to China for work.  I did not get to see as much as I would have liked but what I did see was interesting and unique.  Lots of bicycles and tricycles, like the sketch of this one I did in colored pencils.

San Antonio Cross - Block-in

This is a block-in of a Woden Cross in a pot in the court yard of a Mission outside of San Antonio Texas.  I will finish the wall detail, add detail to the cross and and the flowers to the pot to finish this painting.

Beach Rocks - Block-in

I started this block-in of Beaches Rocks in oil paint.  It is pretty rough as I did not have a lot of time but paint on canvas is good every day.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! This is my card from this year.  It is a combination of pencil and marker.  The angel on top is the angel from the 2011 Christmas card.

Back to Painting

After a big break caused by time, work, and sickness I sat back in front of the easel and put paint to canvas.  This is the block-in fro a sunset on the Chesapeake Bay.
