Wetlands Sketch

Dense sketch of the edge of the wetlands as they enter a small lake behind my house (drawn while floating in my kayak). It is a lazy Thanksgiving Day here in the southeastern United States.

Virtual Paintout: Prince Edward Island

A quick pencil sketch-washed with color-of a sylvan scene of Canada.

(Scanner let me down on this one.)

Everyday Matters Challenge #18: Draw the View from the Window of...

This drawing is inspired by a photograph I took out the window of our hotel room in Lucca, Italy when we traveled there in 2005. It continually seems like just yesterday.
Using a set of woodless graphite pencils which are smooth as silk, I transported myself back to that exquisite traveler's moment when one wakes up in yet another new place and gazes out at the crisp scene so full of promise, wondering what's down that path and around that far bend.
