I guess this is what I’m doing these days
Sometimes, I surprise myself. Sometimes, I’m surprised that I surprise myself. I thought the line of drawing styles went neatly from A to B to C, and so forth. I’m wrong. I did a drawing of a sky. I thought it would turn out like this: Much to my surprise, it didn’t. Am I using…

Sometimes, the Sky is Purple
A lesson in creativity. When I was about 7, we were doing artwork at school. It was a assignment, don’t remember what. Exclusive of one little boy, the kids at my group of desks, were drawing the sky blue. That one little boy, was energetically coloring the sky purple. One of the gaggle of…

And Then It Dawned On Me
On nights when I’ve had trouble sleeping, I’ve stared out the window as morning approaches. The sky looks peaceful and promising, not vibrant and bright as it does at sunset.

Easy Peasy…except Richard doesn’t like peas.
Okay, remember how I was struggling over the first “Making Peace with January”? I went back to the idea…after first taking a more observant look at the subject matter I was planning to draw, a seagull in front of a mackerel sky. I did the sketch in just a few minutes….easiest thing I’ve done in…

Another Wip…………and I LOVE computers <3 <3 <3
Yes, computers are awesome…but I’ll get back to that in a minute. It occurs to me that I have done many drawings (including the one I’m working on now) of the sycamore tree out front. I have however, never posted a photo of it, so you can see it’s beauty for real…so, here’s the view…
