Old work of mine from 1998. Pen and ink on paper , colored pencils. Pointillism.

When your own son calls you anonymous, you probably don’t exist. He likes to be funny on greeting cards. Hahaa! Usually my doodles are a one to two day thing. I continued adding to this one over a period of a couple weeks. Life has been a blur lately. It feels good to be able to post something again.

Sunday morning sketches.

I had an idea to create illustrations of fruit set in autumn 2017, and have been working on the realization of this idea throughout February/March 2018. In all, I have created 11 illustrations: apple, apricot, banana, cherry, grape, lemon, orange, pear, plum, tomato, watermelon. Using rapidograph to form the shape, I am coloring my works digitally in Adobe Photoshop. Here is an apricot!

Vibrant colors, upbeat design and a little imagination can carry you away to The Big Top.

'Cold Cat'

Did this way back 1996. Colored pencils and pen and ink on paper.

Painting and drawing with my grandchildren today showing them how to allow a painting to emerge from a watercolour and plastic wrap background. This visiting Angel emerged.

On Paper

pen & ink, watercolor, ballpoint pen

16”x20” watercolor, acrylic, and colored pencil on paper.

I decided to create some doodles today with the supplies that have been collecting dust at the bottom of my drawer, and this happened!

My sketchbooks are currently full of these little guys.

Experimenting today with an oil transfer drawing technique. The red and purple lines are oil drawn/transferred to hot press 140 pound watercolor paper with watercolor applied. The oil resists the watercolor.

This Catapus (Sally) wearily traverses an unfamiliar felted wool world.

Pencil first. Outlined with ultrafine marker. Started in the middle then grew from there. At first look, I did not like it, but it has grown on me after outlining with markers. Still debating colors.

This doodle is totally rad!...or at least I think it is. Drawn traditionally with pencil and ink and colored digitally with purples, yellows, and pinks.
