More Sketches from Life


Two steps forward, one step back as far as skill level goes. I get nervous when sketching in public, and the sketches aren’t as good, but I’m told the only way to get over that is to keep doing it. The sketch of the candle holders with the pink background is digital.

In other news, I’m still struggling through the same book (not much time for reading lately), and I’m excited about what we’re working on in choir practice at church.

Quick Note

Just a quick note to let you know that A Pensive Moment placed in the top ten in the “Animals Painted in Oils or Acrylics” contest at RedBubble. I’m honored to see Flannery O’Kitten in such esteemed company (especially the bull).

Sleepy Butterflies


The overwintering monarch butterflies in Santa Cruz in December 2009 and the birth of beautiful Madison Rose to friends in January 2010 provided the inspiration for the music.

This time I managed to get a digital image large enough to make a small poster available along with the other options (matted print, laminated print, greeting card, framed print, etc.). If there’s a lot of interest in this format, I’ll certainly try to go back and get suitable images of older paintings. If you are interested in a poster of a particular image, please let me know!
