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. [...]

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 [...]

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.

New Gambose, Cad Yellow, [...]

This sketchbook entry is a tribute to a car show that came to Mission Mill a week ago Saturday. One of the coordinators owned this and we talked a bit about cars. His restored Fairlane 500 and my checker cab in 1600 pieces.
I am just using the pen and have not initially done this in [...]

Here’ the current kit. Actually, in the watercolor palette are two Isabey travel #4 and #6 brushes with a Niji waterbrush and dirty folded paper towel. The half pans are W/N artists colors from Bromley’s. I want more! BTW, the palette is starting to looked messy and loved.
My two dollar pencil box has a g-2 [...]

The Tate Museum does little to make the presentation of these journals acceptable, but none the less they are worth digging through. I would suggest you keep clicking the image until you get the “enhanced” picture. This was barely tolerable, but with my browsers ability to zoom, I was able to adequately study his sketches. [...]
