Quiet Pond 2


This was the last painting from my recent paint out with Plein Air Austin. I threw down a few color notes (I should have photographed them)and packed up. I printed out a pretty poor picture to work from and finished it up. I must admit I didn't use the photo a lot and that's a good thing. We were guests of a ranch in Buda, Texas.

Quiet Pond


This was created during a recent paint out with Plein Air Austin. My focus was on water reflections. The property was beautiful with livestock in the distance, beautiful trees, and a meandering body of water.

Bird Watching



The title is about the bird in the lower right hand corner that appears to be watching this down on his luck fellow. The scene is from the downtown area of San Francisco. This person was sitting in front of a store with his spare change cup nearby.

Expression 3



A Facebook friend and colleague told me that yesterdays post was disturbing. That critique actually fit. These sketches are from the series called Waking the Dead.
I'm currently watching the first season. I love the lighting and the characters have interesting faces.

Expression 2



I liked the eyes in this scene so I hit pause button on the dvr and worked until the image started moving again.

Expression 1




I recently finished a book on sketching fast. The author suggested sketching while the dvr or recording device was on pause. I did that yesterday while watching a little telly. My pause button works for about 10 minutes before I lose the still image. I worked small (3.5 by 5 inches) to get in a full image. I will call this series my expression series.
