People Watching

I have been traveling so my updates have been limited. I try and sketch every chance I get and I love drawing people. These were some people waiting for others after going through security at the San Francisco Airport. I do these live, so they are really quick because they are not there for very long.

Promise of Rain

This is a view from my parents farm. I just got this great book of drawings by Franklin Booth and wanted to try my own feeble attempt at his beautiful ink drawings. I love his feeling of height, the sensitivity of line, composition, etc, wow.

Lone pine in winter

It was snowing yesterday so I went up river to paint an old farmstead. I was setting up when I saw this pine up the hill with the hill behind it fading in and out, so I changed subject matter. I love the softness of images through the snow.

Moon over Goodman Point

This was M0nday morning, just before the sun came up. The moon was on the west horizon with those wonderful colors that happen at that time of day. I just couldn't resist trying to capture that light.
