I read “People of the Book” and afterward started to look at icons from the fourteenth century. This stuff always knocks me out. She was the subject of some work I surfed through. Click to enlarge.

On a recent trip to the coast to visit a cousin, I caught this view as we crested the large sand dune. The weather was overcast and the temperature moderate with light breeze. It was a good walk on the beach and then over to the campground to see hundreds of free roaming bunnies. PC is truly a tiny coastal treasure.

I respect anything that can survive in the harsh realities of the coastal northwest. Callalilies have what it takes and they are an iconic beauty like a nautilus shell. The cottage where we stayed in Yachats had these lovely plants framing many of their abodes.

The girls went in search of a good shopping fix. I passed the time hanging out by the car and then I sat down and did this quick sketch of the southwest corner parking lot scene. If nothing else I am building my confidence to sketch en plein air. With sketchcrawl only forty some days away, I need to get comfortable outdoors.

I drew a quick sketch of my daughter playing in the sand. Did Not have a clue on how to build any perspective to the beach and ocean. It was really cool en plein air.

Found this in the sketchbook. Wanted to do something free hand without the crutch of the pencil. Forgot how long my truck is or how short is the width of the page. Doesn’t matter, cause its still fun to drive. To drive short distances! It sighs everytime we pass a filling station.

Frank's Get Well Card (Click to Enlarge)
My buddy Frank just got his nose holes reamed. I decided to make him a portrait get well card. While I was working on this he showed up at my shop looking as if nothing had happened. I showed him his portrait and told him to wait while I finished the card. So, Frank Get Well, was moot and he is and that’s really the point.
