Farm Sketch

"Farm sketch" 5" x 7"

I haven't posted artwork in a while and felt I should post this little sketch. Had some fun using a ballpoint pen little and painterly. Would like to use this approach on a fully rendered drawing. This was from my imagination, next time I will use a photo. Just having fun!

This is my latest pen and ink. Trying to create a sense of atmosphere and depth, while the eye finds the cattle grazing. I have really enjoyed drawing this piece.

My first plein air painting. Painted at the Zionesville Paint Out.
Can't wait to get outside and learn more! I have a ton to learn :)

"Warm Day"

Getting ready for the Zionesville Paint Out and needed a little practice on a tight deadline. Set to paint this in 2 hours but finished it in about 1 and half hours. Am pretty happy with how it came out.

I may add ink to this. I am also planning to take another stab at it.





After viewing this on my blog I decided to crop it a bit, and was amazed with how it affected the composition and overall feel of the piece.
