EXCERCISE WITH GREENS & PURPLE

Sometimes, inspiration to start a new sketch is as simple as using up some extra paints that's on my palette.

With all this rain in May, the mountains are bursting with greens!

EASTER LAMB

From a pastel sketch on my deck last week, I'm turning this into a new Easter design.

NATURAL BEAUTY FROM MY DECK

To wake up to all this natural beauty is a tonic on any day, in any season.

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.
