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 :)

Sketchcrawl Rochester

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.

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.

07.09.08- WXXI/This other life

On the road home...

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.

Drawing in the car on the way to Boston for the holiday

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.

A random Monday nights sketches

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.

Monday Meeting

todays meeting was longer than usual...so here are my sketches, with a few notes too.

Sketchcrawl 19-Rochester

These are some of my sketches from the Word Wide SketchCrawl 19. It was such a good day. The weather turned out to be perfect. We were a small but strong group. Hopefuy they will be able to post their work soon. It was great to meet all of those who participated!!!

I can't wait until the next one....

06.16.08 Riley

Rileu was laying in the floor tonight facing me. It doesnt happen often. SO i had to sketch her. She kept looking at me, looking at her.

Socks

Two pairs of socks that have not yet been out in the hamper made a perfect subject to sketch tonight.

Toronto

Sketchcrawling in Rochester NY.......

I am super excited. There is going to be a sketchcrawl in my town!!!! If you are close come join us.

St.Croix 2008

I was able to go down to St.Croix again, this time for my little brothers 30th b-day. We had such a great time!! Here are a few sketches from the trip.

on the way back

The scans a bit dark on this one...a little sketch on the plane ride back from the new store today. I was sitting on the bench seat across from Mark. You sure do get spoiled flying in a private plane. I am sure tomorrow's commercial flight in the cheap seats will definitely be different!!

Today was only the second time i've gotten to fly on the plane it so it's really more of a novelty than anything. I have to say not wating in the security line, walking right on the plane and being in the air in less than 5 minutes is so cool.

stones

This is the small wooden dish I have on my nightstand that has a bunch of stones in it. I got these years ago and they've always ended up next to me. Thank goodness I kept the sheet of paper that told me what each stone was and what it meant, or I'd have no clue.
