New computer and return to blogging

I had to get  new computer so that and a road trip has delayed the bogging, but not working on drawing and painting.  This is a sketch of a two masted ship, maybe a Barque.  This was done in pencil and free hand with out a ruler.  The straight lines are a bit of a pain.

Caboose Generator - Block In

This is an oil painting done in a little bit of a tonal style.  This is an electrical generator on a retired caboose.  This is how the old American Cabooses got electricity in the caboose.  The movement down the rails would run this and charge a battery.

Happy New Year, Native American Sketch

I finished this sketch today.  I then realized I have not posted in this year yet.  This is a pencil sketch of Stephen Small Salmon from Montana.  He is a member of the Pend d'Oreille tribe from the Flathead Reservation in Montana.  I had great photos of him from our trip up to Montana.

Sakanet Light Rhode Island sketch

This is a pencil sketch of the Sakannet Lighthouse at Little Compton, Rhode Island.

Victoria Sketch

This is a pencil and chalk sketch of Victoria, a great woman taken from the world much too soon.  She was a great friend of our family.  She will be sorely missed.

Lake Hiawatha painting

This is a Holiday painting for my Dad. I have many happy childhood memories of fishing at this northern Colorado lake near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado.  The sunsets over the lake were almost as good as the fishing.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas,  I have not posted in a while since I have been working on presents and other things which cannot be posted yet.  I will endeavor to post more in the coming weeks.  Happy Holidays!
