Still Playing

Portico, Nice. 8x10 inches, acrylic, pastel, pen and ink on Bristol paper.  I'm still playing with different ways of marking a piece of paper.  This one is inspired by a Ken Howard drawing from his book Inspired by Light: A Personal View

For the Fun of It

A Booster Rocket

Cow Feeder, Sloan Road, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, acrylic and pen and ink.  On Sloan Road there's an old barn, falling apart, a wild unkempt tree, and a cow feeder that looks like the remnant of a booster rocket.  

Half-Asleep Auto

A Boat Drawing

Rocky Neck Boat, Gloucester, MA. 8x10 inches, acrylic wash and pen and ink on bristol paper. I'm playing with my new pen, applying wash first and then using the pen.  This way the ink will not run, and the lines and wash edges don't matchup giving some vibrancy to the drawing.

Brooklyn Pissarro

Union Street Bridge, Brooklyn. 12x16 inches, oil on linen canvas.  This view reminds me of paintings by Camille Pissarro.
