BERRY SEASON

Yay, berry season once again, what better way to spend the day than to cruise along the backroads & stop at a BERRY FARM. The best part about picking strawberry is eating the ripe fresh berries. BLISS... with a finish sketch, it almost feels like a productive creative day.

BLUEBIRD

It's starting to look like that Summer is here to stay in the mountain. With such a fine Memorial Day weekend, everything is looking paintable. A bluebird flew by me as I was biking. Looks like a good week to paint birds. Sometimes, my projects start with ideas straight from the air. Ah, nothing like the joy of being inspire!

ABSTRACTION

As the light changes rapidly, the 2 sided sketchbook that opens flat is quite useful. This is totally improvised, I never know when I should stop. Usually for me,  a drawing is done when I have  partly succeeded in abstracting what I originally saw... not at all necessary to cover every inch of the paper.

BIRDSONG

Except for birdsong at 5am, lots of peace & quiet & beauty...the many reasons why I look forward to my weekends in the mountain.
