The Flood

While working today I did a rough pencil and pen sketch of "The Flood".
Rough drawing but if you look close you can see the different animals walking to
the Ark.

Simple farm with sheep. Fun :)

That lonely slender tree

The other evening my wife, my mother-n-law and I took a nice drive into the country.
It was a perfect evening, nice and cool, and the lightning bugs were out in full force by the end of the night. Anyways, we stopped a few times to take pictures of the fields and horizon and I loved the look of this lonely slender tree over a wheat field. so decided to sketch it quickly by memory today.

Tree in progress....and knowing when to stop.

Upon Vince's request (friend here at work) I decided to scan and post this sketch before I
"finish". Why??? because Vince and I had a conversation the other day about knowing when to stop with a painting, drawing, etc. He thought it was a good time to stop, and he liked how the pen fully rendered looked in contrast to the sketchy pencil. I can't exactly call this finished though...I "need" to finish it with pen...fully rendered. Sooo this is for Vince...raise your glasses! to Vince!


I will continue to post this image as I move along :)

"Weed'n" (pen and pencil sketch)

Been doing a lot of gardening and landscaping around our house lately with my wife.
Just another sketch with Pen and pencil.

"My Last Stand" (pen and pencil sketch)

I truly love pen. This drawing was done with my new brush pen, normal Micron pens, and pencil.
A lot of fun I tell you :) I may see what I can do with this in photoshop as well...we'll see.
