Some New Current Work/Future Work?































While waiting for an important phone call- thought I'd pass some time and post a blog. Mostly pics. I'm still sketching down at the river- in the mornings before the heat strikes if it does. Had a nice and fun printing session this past Sunday- switched to flowers for a pleasant change of subject. One morning I strolled the river at high tide- it was so beautiful that I made sure to go out next morning with my camera. May play with these on the Wacom.



I might delve into a bit of sarcasm with a "practice portrait". I do not know yet.....:).

Promised Sketches































This will be short- I am laid up with a second bout of bronchitis AND costochondritis (inflamed ribs from coughing). As usual I am bored with being sick and am posting a blog. I was lucky to receive today, a book on skin tones (for future portraits) if I feel like reading. Looked through and have some new ideas.




I've been sketching alot, it's quite a joy, especially with B pencils. I've become fascinated with the plant life of the river. There are times when I DON'T sketch- like my early morning cappuccino walks- but don't be fooled- I'm still studying and observing......:)

Let me re-phrase that with pics





















Apparently I have said the wrong thing again. I need to walk around this town with duck tape strapped to my mouth.











I am harassed for sketching the river, but "look"....
