Snow in April. 6x8” can’t let go of this morning ritual- drawing in my window seat with coffee. Hope our newly planted Asian Pear trees are okay with this snow! #morningsketch

Easter = hope. Just learned my dear old Dad is fighting Covid in the Philippines. With all my heart ❤️ I wish him strength hope, love.

Week 11 #drawingaday Wall is filling up. Feels good to fill a wall with these little labors. 23 more will barely fit for goal 💯
This week had strong influence of #onepointperspective #vangoghdrawing texture and more #treeple and a couple rough #pleinair drawings

Week 10 #drawingaday This week brought some anomalies like #moth #mountain and #butterfly #range. Woke up with a #butterflydream in my head which spilled into #outmywindow view. Looked up the DreamMood symbol which describes many things that could fit my #stateofmind right now, from #joy to lack of #focus to need to be social, #creative, and the obvious #transformation

Sun Drenched. oil and gesso on 300lb paper is 22x2

Sun Drenched. oil and gesso on 300lb paper is 22x22”. Began this painting last summer. Built up with many glazed layers. Was difficult to photograph because of the high gloss surface. But I love the transparent layers of color that give depth to the image. Very different from the flat matte surface of gouache

Week 9 #drawingaday graphite on paper. Living on a retired apple orchard, the old trees express so much personality, even as they die they have such distinctive character and life.

#grayday #pleinair #car-drawing #meltingsnow #yellowandgrey I’m finding #coloredpencil really hard to learn. I love the texture and mark making. But there is something very stiff about them. I feel like I need to press really hard to get the colors to saturate or blend. I like the portability though. Been very inspired by danish artist #peradolfsen @peradolfsen_artist learning a lot form his colored pencil work. #alwaysastudent
