09.07.08
i had hoped to finish this but was too worn out. i was laying in the Adirondack chair in the back yard, looking up into the tree above the patio. All of the leaves looked like stars. I had never noticed that before.

the 1000 Islands
a few trees as seen from my campsite. there wasn't much of a view. The rest of the campground was great though. I already have sites picked out for next time :)
I lost a bit of color on the scan, but the bottom one is unfinished. I took some photos to possibly finish but knowing me....it will stay this way.
pears from work
the one on the right needed to have the leaves re-worked a bit...but i already moved on to the next sketch :)

and finally...waiting in the airport
It seems like we are waiting a lot more than we used to at airports lately. The flight home was delayed about an hour and a half. I wonder what this is all about. Is it because they can???anywho, it could have been much worse. At least I got home the night i was supposed to. I could have been stuck overnight I suppose.
waiting on the plane...
There seemed to be some sort of problem with the brand new Jetblue plane. So we sat at the gate for a bit. As usual i'm glad I had my sketchbook.
Waiting for chinese food
I saw this on the side walk while waiting for my food to be ready...it's a little washed out from the scanner.Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Rail Station
Rachel and I met this past Saturday to sketch. Our second and last stop was at the rail station. It's so interesting there. Old trains, railroad spikes on the ground and big old brick buildings.
This is the sketch I started. It's not finished just yet. I'm thinking about scanning /printing on watecolor paper. There are a few different things i want to try out. Maybe i'll post those...maybe.

07.04.05
My sketches from the 4th...the ones on the bottom were done while waiting for the fire works to start. It was gettinge dark when i star ted. By then end I couldn t see what I was drawing. The one on the left bottom is my favorite. it's hard to see in the small size though.
07.02.08
I bought a "g" from an old printers set at an antique shop last week. I tried an old stamp pad but it didn't seem to work well. I then painted the letter with paint. Looks like I need to find a better stamp pad :) Then Riley wanted to help me draw...so there's her mark on the right.Tuesday, July 1, 2008
Railroad Spike / Spring
The first attempt at the spike/ spring i found down at the railroad station. I've found I needed more patience the night i drew this. I felt a bit distracted and definitely should have let paint dry between layers. THere's always next time... :)
Sketchcrawl
This was from the sketchcrawl. I could not find a scanner that would read the pencil. The one we have here at work did the trick.
