Life Drawing

This is a watercolor I did of the two models that were at the first Dr. Sketchy, North Jersey event. This was back in January. I paint to slow for a 20 minute pose but a great time was had by all.

October Morning


Here is a picture of a neighbor walking her daughter to school. They just got a new puppy. As you can see he thinks he is walking them. Yes, I do live in a town in which people walk down the middle of the street and it is relatively safe. In fact we do not have sidewalks.

Well, here goes I just recently join this very active and helpful group. Looking through some of the shops of the members.

I was struck by Visual Punctuation's shop, from her warm welcoming remarks to her beautiful beaded cuffs, what a great place to shop. My favorite was a bracelet made with brown, black, grays, white and metallic beads, it is elegant.

Adrift too


He had been adrift for a long time, and now he had come a shore.

Adrift


Adrift before dawn, the fisherman was only certain of catching a beautiful summer day.

Crossing the Extension Bridge


This is a watercolor of my oldest son, Mike at summer camp crossing an extension bridge. I wanted to get the group to work as one unit but to keep their individuality.
