Sketchy Business at the Airport

This is a quick pencil sketch I did for The Different Strokes From Different Folkes. You can get away with a lot when it is just a quick sketch. Check out some of the beautiful paintings that others did on this same subject.

Rose's Friend, the Bottle

Well, this has been cropped a ton. The original photo by Leslie Hawes was very beautiful but my shadow turned out murky and the bottle looked awfully lonely without his shadow so I gave him a new friend from my garden instead. This is for the Monthly Sketch Project Blog. Check it out and join us.

California Hills

This was painted for the Following the Masters Challenge. I had such a wonderful time loosing myself in the process of trying to paint in the style of Vincent van Gogh. I was inspired by the Olive Trees in the Alpilles (pictured above my painting) but I used a reference photo of mine to loosely paint the hills by my house. Maybe I should go back and make the olive trees look more like oak trees? N/A
