Feeling Kind of Sketchy

























I got up early this morning and went to the hills to do a little sketching.  It was good to see the morning light and smell the earth and sage and sumac.  I really need to do this sort of thing more often.

Playing With Some Acrylics



















































The other day I decided it would be good for me to just play around with some paint.  I've been so focused on doing really intentional work for my portfolio that I thought I might be good to experiment some.  Truth be told I would like to see more movement and expressiveness in my work, so these sketches were an attempt to loosen up a bit.  They started out really free-form and kind of developed from there.  They're done in acrylic in a 7X10 sketchbook.  I may revisit them someday as more fully realized paintings or maybe not.

Boats Revised


















A little while ago I posted some illustrations I did inspired by Robert Luis Stevenson's "Where Go the Boats".  Having never really been satisfied with the way they came out, I decided to go back and rework some things.  These are the updated versions.  Hope you like them.
