Pasteling last weekend

Thank you all for your comments on my last post I want to post more paintings like that in the future. Last weekend, however, I headed out with my wife and a bunch of friends to spend an afternoon painting and drawing. These are the pastels I did and I will try and post the sketchbook drawings later.

Photoshop sketching

Every time I stop by the blogs of Neil Campbell Ross and Alberto Mielgo (see links at right) I'm inspired by the simplicity strength and seeming effortlessness with which they create their work. As a result I have started sketching again in the computer and here is my first effort. Not close to a Neil or Alberto, but I'll never learn if I don't try.

Sketch post

Well, I'm not quite ready to show the children's book stuff, so here is some on location sketching.
