Seneca Creek



I started this sketch on Sunday sitting in my chair on a sand bar in the middle of the creek but I couldn't take the cold (last year I could but this year...ugh!!) so I took a photo and finished the sketch at home....ahh!! warmth!!!

This is a sketch looking form Schaeffer Rd in Montgomery Co. Md. The 9"x12" sketch took about two hours to draw. It was a very nice warm sunny day.

Linden Farm



I've painted this dairy barn before. It is a spectacular white structure when seen on a sunny day. Today was no exception while I sketched this view.

Color pencil drawings




I've started using pastel paper for these prismacolor pencil drawings. I like the colored grounds. The subjects are familiar places and so titled. I think it would be really cool to be able to letter well. That is an art in itself and one I'm not too good at...haha!!

Maddie and Annie (portraits)




These are two pencil portraits I did of my daughters, Maddie and Annie. It's been awhile since I posted here as I usually post regularly to facebook. Maybe I can connect the two.
