Every year we go to Big Sur, to the same campsite, for a week or so. We just got back and I managed to finish off my latest sketch book! So there are a few images to share. Here’s the campsite. More to come!
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…
The kids caught this monster then let him (her?) back loose in the wilds exactly where they found it. I just spent 15 minutes during my lunch hour coloring it (the original sketch here). I’ve been needing to practice using digital color and sometimes these sketches prove to be perfect guinea pigs (guinea bugs?). We couldn’t resist taking a picture of this bug while my son Jack held it. Click here to see – WARNING: not for the squeamish!
That’s Joan in the foreground left holding the flashlight reading to the kids before bedtime.
The campsite (click to enlarge). Our tent on the left, sister-in-law’s tent in the middle, nephew George on the right. The Big Sur river was directly behind me as I drew this.
This is how Joan relaxes – by working! I shouldn’t talk, I guess I’m drawing while relaxing. She and my sister-in-law made lots of jewelry while the kids played. (Just for the heck of it – Joan’s web site.)
