Still Trying

Still Trying

A portrait from a photo.

As often happens still

my sketch

could just as well

be that of a stranger.

Still trying..

Sketched from a reference photo of one of my granddaughters taken by one of the subjects parents.

Planning to Revolt

Planning to Revolt

A life lived.

Time to try again.

The next step.

The return

to a once imagined

youth.

Another series of gesture warm up sketches from and session with “R” not so long ago.

Desert Pond Revisited

Desert Pond Revisited

Used a photo reference I took to attempt the desert pond again. Started as a watercolor, but soon resorted to adding ink lines to get closer to what I saw. Still not satisfied with depiction of the glowing orange/yellow reeds along the shore. Looks like a fire.

Actually, it sort of did..

Pause

Pause

Like a deer

in headlights,

a daydream,

a lapse.

Ignoring the plan,

for the day.

Jealous of the easy

recovery after,

with just an

unassuming smile.

Sketched in a session with “B”, not so long ago.
