One of my current favorite painters is Edward Hopper. I'm drawn to what I perceive to be the "Aloneness" in his paintings and drawings. This house from my hood reminds me of that imagery. I recently dipped back in to my passion for gel and dip pens. This drawing started out with just the Kuretaki Aurora Violet as the background. I used a dip pen to add the drawing of the house and you know the rest.
We were on McDonald heading home and I saw these chickens behind a fence. Of course we had to stop for video and photos. This is one of the finished mixed media pieces that I completed of these characters. Many more will follow. Urban chcken farm...what a concept.
This was inspired by the sketches that were posted previously. I am in the process of evaluating what I currently have in storage. I have a lot of old sketchbooks that I have completed. Maybe I can explore them again with fresh eyes and different skills. Some of them were completed in 2009-2010. IMHO my people sketches were much better.
