This sketch was done just minutes ago. My wife teaching kids art. We had lunch together at the school. Now, back to work!

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.

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.
