Entrance Mark

Path, Field Farm, Williamstown, MA. 8x6 inches, ballpoint pen on paper.  I brought rudimentary tools to record my walk this afternoon at Field Farm.  I love how the path has this dark indentation in the grass to mark its entrance into the woods.

Like a Postcard

Plaza del Obradoiro, Santiago de Compostela.  6x8 inches, watercolor and pen & ink.  Like a postcard, a remembrance of a place once visited not so long ago.

For Starters

View from Stratton Road, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, watercolor, acrylic wash, and ink on mixed media paper.  I thought I would make a simple drawing for starters.  May we all have a Happy and Healthy and Fulfilling New Year!

Appreciating Spring

Old Milk Shed, Luce Road, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, acrylic and pen and ink on Bristol paper.  We can appreciate Spring all the better because we have to put up with Winter.  

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

Corner of Oblong and Sloan Roads, Williamstown, MA. 8x10 inches, acrylic wash and pen and ink.  This one I did just 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

Dean Street Auto, Brooklyn.  8x10 inches, acrylic paint with pen and ink on Bristol paper.  This dark van struck me as a half-asleep creature of some kind.

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.
