Happy Birthday - Kerri

Today is my daughter Kerri's Birthday.  This is the card I made for her.  I drew shapes and the watercolored in two colors per shape.  I then calligraphed the Happy Birthday.  So "Happy Birthday!"

Ode to Da Vinci

This is a copy of a Leonardo Da Vinci sketch of a study he did for a battle painting he never completed.  It doesn't matter that he never did the painting as the prep sketches are excellent.  This is an experiment and I am no where close to Da Vinci, but I like to practice after a Master to improve my skills.  This is done in pencil.

Most eyes on grey paper

Happy Sunday, I worked on this for today's art.  This is pencil and white chalk on grey paper.

Eye sketch

The eye has it tonight.  Pencil and white chalk on grey paper.

Tree Silhouette sketch

Happy Friday!  I worked on this tree sketch in pencil.  It is leafless winter sketch.  It is time for spring and some leaf buds.

Venus Sketch

I worked on this evening, it is a Venus sketch in the style of Florence Italy artists from 300 years ago. Needs some work before it is as good as the Old Masters.

Tulips Fields and Windmills - Block-in

So I was overcome by events last week and did not get any other drawing it contrary to my last post about needing to do more.  I did come home tonight and start on this Dutch scene of Tulip Fields and a Windmill in oil paint.  I guess I want spring to come and see some flowers.
