Another Barn


Actually the same barn as last week, inspired by the same photo anyway. Again a mix of Neocolor, watercolor pencils and ink.

Sunflowers


A large file so if I could stand the long upload time your looking at sunflowers done with a mix, Neocolor, watercolor pencil wet and dry and ink. I do sunflowers often. I like all flowers but sunflowers are my favorite I think. Blackeyed susans a close second.

Pen and Ink


This is a pen and ink drawing mainly of the boy who is taken from an old photo I have. I have drawn this kid a few times and never got him like I wanted, what I see in the picture. In the photo he looks like a tough little b**$#ard leaning against the pole but I'm not getting that from my drawing, something in the stance is wrong. Oh well, I'll keep working on it and maybe you'll see this kid again.

We went to a wedding Saturday, my wifes niece. It was held on a golf course, something I'm sure happens every day but I've never heard of it , probably because I don't golf and avoid weddings as much as possible. Kind of put me in mind of Gerald Ford ( I think he was the one always beaning people with golf balls, wasn't he?) It turned out fine, nobody got beaned, didn't even hear anyone yell four! and the couple are nice people and will have a good life together.

Old Drawing


This is something I did last year, maybe the year before. It was supposed to be in the "never to be seen again drawer" I mentioned but somehow it had escaped so I figure it wanted to be posted which is convenient as I had nothing else I really wanted to post today

The drawing is a little "different" but if I had anything in mind when I did it I've forgotten what it was.

Progress misses


This structure is across from a fairly large shopping center and next to a major thoroughfare, not sure who the land belongs to. Just my impression of the building done after comming home, something I pass often and mean to get some pictures of as reference before it gets torn down but never do. Maybe the land is park district or something, that could protect it as the land is of course valuable enough that this survival is unusual.
