This is my second version of this drawing. If anyone has an opinion on which version they like better, I would love to hear it. (Sorry, you have to go back several pages of my uploads to see it.)

I am loving sketching when I am out and about. It is very different than working in my studio - and gives me ideas for my imaginary drawings.

This was inspired by one of @JunkyardSam's drawings. I loved his linked islands and wanted to do my version. Thankyou Junkyard Sam for your inspiration. It is good fun to try on someone else’s outlook.

An experiment to see if I could represent decay using line. I learned a lot.

Day 7 of inktober2020 and the prompt is Fancy (referring to his hat). I like this pen and ink approach better than most of my earlier inktober drawings. I prefer the teeny tiny scratchings to marker.
Nick insists on taking his special hat with him.

I recently finished this sketch of an interesting house in a town about an hour away. I was fascinated by all that was going on.

Our community has been suffering from terrible floods, it seems like it is time to get used to a new reality.

Another house that I found interesting, this one is across from the library in my local town. I love drawing all the vegetation detail - how the buildings decay and are slowly taken over by plants.

My family used to go to the same cabins at Netart’s Bay every year for a week at the beach. A happy memory.

This started out with an interest in drawing ferns and foliage, then surprised me by becoming a self portrait.

This is the full spread in my moleskine of Return of the Polar Bear. It is after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, an artist from the 16th century, with my own changes.

This is the other half of Return of the Polar Bear, a drawing in my moleskine. It is after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, an artist from the 16th century. I began it as a way to try out his intricate use of line and hatching. The subject matter altered some along the way - his etching didn't have any animals, and of course mine had to be all about the animals. I also simplified. It turned out to be a wonderful lesson.

I love drawing old houses. I started this sitting in my car and later finished drawing the details in while in my studio.

An angel, a nature spirit of great power - whichever way of describing her that you are comfortable with. She is a force in protecting all of nature.
