Here’s are mixed media critters that I did on wood. The chick is a character. He didn’t quite come out like I sketched him. This guy took on a whole different persona and much to my delight, his own personality….the second photo is an elephant and it’s amusing how many people think he looks sad. Both of these critters came from original sketches I did in my sketchbooks.

   
   

Two sketches done at Harpoon Henry’s in North Cape May….they finally reopened for the season!

  

we had a beautiful weekend in Snow Hill, MD.  Here are my paintings from that event.  Two sold!

   

             

Birthday sketches, my cake from this evening and my cup a Java from this morning at breakfast at Flo’s.

   

 

Tugboat in Port Jeff NY, it started to rain so the raindrops are part of the sketch….:not sure what that woolly covering is all about.  Sometimes when living on Long Island, you forget that it is an island we live on….like Roy Schieder quotes on Jaws

Hooper: Well, uh, it doesn’t make much sense for a guy who hates the water to live on an island….. 

Brody: It’s only an island if you look at it from the water.  

Yesterday’s sketch at the Grange with my Sketch Club

 

Tonight’s sketch at Bodies and Baked goods …..

  

This was sketched on what used to be a boarding school for wealthy kids, it’s now part of St John’s university.   I believe these steps were known as the Senior Steps.

  

I am a bit behind on my posts.  Last Saturday, John and I drove to Riverhead and checked out an indoor Farmers Market… Afterwards I sat and sketched this over by the water.  I just got around to scanning this sketch today.

The weather is still on the gloomy side….but at least it is warmer.  I went down by the water today and this tree is always an interesting “character.”  As you can see, this tree has adapted to living near a windy spot.  I was actually looking toward shore, I might try this tree again looking toward the water……when that house sized pile of snow behind it melts….
