Summer’s over! One last look at the summer camping trip: my son reading by the riverside. This one done as a birthday card for a family member.
We just got back from our annual two-week trip to Big Sur (although we didn’t go last year, due to the fires), and so I did some sketching, as usual. This is the river next to the tent (above).
Our neighbor’s dog: half husky, half wolf.
A lot of fun, very relaxing, but glad to be back all the same…
Joan has one of these raised garden beds. It’s a great thing, turning what was once a city eye-sore into a beautiful and functional community garden. When the new trees they planted eventually grow up I can only imagine what an even more beautiful spot this will be. I drew and colored this standing up in 90+ degree heat. A wonderful event for a wonderful cause.
A double-spread fountain pen sketch done at our good friends’ house. I added a little value to it in Photoshop for fun.
Last night at our local eatery I turned to see the kids engaged in some animated discussions so I had to sketch them. Lily is seen here drawing the charming little sketch below:
My wife was filling some orders for her jewelry web site, so I was keeping her company and sketching the scene, listening to Kelly Joe Phelps, my new favorite blues slide guitarist.
I did this while waiting for the take-out to come. As soon as I laid the last wash, the man handed me the bags and off I went. Perfect timing. There’s always the fear lurking that I won’t have time to finish a sketch, with the subject walking off or something or other.
I know it’s a day or two late, but here it is. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
