MY JOURNAL COVER

I'm venturing into the world of journal art and altered books. Why not?

AGAIN WITH THE HOPPER?

Another painting influenced by Hopper.

FEEDING THE LOCAL WILDLIFE

MORE OF NOTHING BETTER TO DO

Just in case you're wondering it's not a mullet. It may look like one but it's not. It was cutting edge style.

NOTHING BETTER TO DO

After a Long Absence

I think I'd like to try doing a little more pencil. I don't see a lot of it these days and that was always the one item I could put my hands on when I wanted to draw as a kid. This image was taken from a book.
Yesterday I went to a local bookstore and found a Hopper on clearance for only six bucks. I was trying to choose between it and a how-to magazine. I decided I could learn more by painting from Hopper reproductions than I ever could from a magazine.
Stuff on a Table

Sometimes I get a little uptight about what I should sketch. This time I loosely applied watercolor to objects just sittin' around and then I added more layers of watercolor until I lost control. At that point I found some white and black prisma color pencils and tried to dig my way out of the mud.

Gourds

What more can I say?

From the past week.

Ruby's Halloween treats.
