Night time sketching





Had fun sketching out in the park the other night with my studio mate; a sketchbook, a few beers, full moon, great company, what could be better! Some of these are our combined drawings with brush.

Summer drawing practice

These were mostly done on the night I lost my camera, which must be said, truly sucks, but life goes on. I went and had a few glasses of wine and drew with my friend. I guess lacking a camera means I can be drawing more instead of taking pictures.

"Art cannot be separated from life. It is the expression of the greatest need of which life is capable, and we value art not because of the skilled product, but because of its revelation of a life's experience." Robert Henri

"wrinkles"



Decided to do a quick sketch at work to put on illustrationfriday.com. I'd like to add something every week just for practice.
I liked this older woman because she looked so happy to me and it really made me almost look forward to growing older and developing that peace of mind.

experiment practice




This is me experimenting with cutting out paper and old art magazines and drawing and painting on top. It was very relaxing. I did them at "craft night" at Stella's, which became a weekly for tradition for about two weeks but truly deserves to be resumed. I think these drawings, paintings, collages whatever they must be called are just little stream of consciousness memories, thoughts, whatever pops into your head you do...kinda what I want to start incorporating into my paintings

More upcoming work





Upcoming Work Preview






Paintings in progress.....

It's hard for me to put these up online without having them finished and exactly how i want them but I think it will be good for motivation to continue. I plan to complete a portrait series by the end of next month.
