hi

Painted as a project for My Painting Environments class: https://skl.sh/32Khrti I am studying and working on my environment paintings, focusing on building textures and painting with light. This was submitted as my project for a Painting Environments course. If you have any advise, tips or comments on this painting I would love to hear from you. Thanks! Epic Valley Project parameters: - Hugh, expansive valley with mix of grassy and rocky terrain - Haunting, dramatic sky with rays of light beaming - Stone formations

This weeks prompt for the #jimbobdrawingshow

Done on the iPad using procreate. Therapeutic meditative doodling.

My first horse study in acrylic medium. I love the tossed main, it looks so anthropomorphic!

Still reeling from that fire; totally unnecessary. Cover and inside illustration from my book, The Moth and the Sun.

A few drawings/paintings from my class this week. I like to work alongside my students.

But first coffee

Baby, it’s cold outside.

From my watercolor sketchbook. Can’t seem to get away from this floral motif these days!

Illustration made with handcarved stamps.

Playing with the format of the envelope, and making some mail extra fun!

This is part of an ongoing series.

From our little part of the world to yours, warmest winter wishes! This piece was created 'Just For Fun' with Colored Pencils. It was so relaxing and enjoyable to doodle one house each evening!

The first page of my sketchbook #3. Akiyo Noguchi - a japanese rock climber, bronze medalist of 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

After soaking up a mountain view this came out an hour after.

I have dragged this typewriter around for more than 50 years. I found it in an antique store when I was in college. It's still fully useable, except that it's REALLY hard to find ribbons. Basically, it's just another object to dust. But it is a beautifully made object. The basic shapes and perspective were blocked in with a 2H pencil, then I used a Sakura 005 micron pen to do the contour drawing.

This was in response to a friend’s art challenge. It was fun to try a new style.

This is my friend Peat. He is a highly refined, mature gentleman (9 years old). But he still absolutely loves to play in the mud!

My first attempt at cross-hatching with ink.

First real art of the year. It took longer than I wanted but I love how it came out. Guess that's what happens when you put time into your projects - go figure. Just a little Copy Cat art from a beautiful, innocent, charming film - Ponyo. What's your favorite Studio Ghibli Film?
