Ruby Throat Hummingbird Sumi

Tonight's contribution is a simple Ink Brush rendering of a male Ruby Throat Hummingbird.   Simple is good and sometimes harder to make convincing.

It has been awhile since I have posted.  Regular job has been stressful and I have been distracted.  I step that aside and I have gone back to working the ink brush.  I will try to stick with doing something every day as I feel better when I do something.

Elk Girl

More pencil work tonight.  This is a sketch in support of the elk painting I have been working on.  I wanted to have a better roadmap to how complete the head in the painting.

For James

 Part of the motivation for this blog is to honor James Matthews, my son.  He passed away five years ago now.  I decided to stop thinking about the day I would do art, because I realized that would be a mistake.  You never know when your time will be up.  So if you keep thinking about doing something "some day"  you need to do it now.  Best Son ever and always ready fort an adventure with me, like Belize to scuba dive. That's him in the water on his open water certification dive in Belize.
