REFLECTION

I made some new pastel paper using acrylic mixed with pumice and smeered on paper with a palette knife. this made a great background which made it impossible for me to overwork the pastels. This was good for me since I have a tendancy to work my pastels to mud sometimes.

Boxer

I know he's not a boxer, just named 'Boxer'. This is a quick sketch of a friend of mine's Bernese puppy. i am working on some dog drawings for a bar in Milleken Colorado.

Love My great Grandpa

This is a work in progress, I may leave this as is then redo it in little different style. This is my Granddaughter and my dad. Photo reference was take by my wife "Mother and Daughter Perfect Moments", and this sure was one! http://www.motherdaughterphotos.com/

There is the possibility of a new bar opening called "The Dawg" If i can get enough drawings together maybe I'll get to have an exclusive show for my art work. Have a dog...want a painting done? give me a call.

Barn Cat

"BARN CAT" An Iowa Barn cat perched on a snow covered hay loft somewhere between being the sentry and arising after a long nap and a tasty mouse. I enjoyed the look of the snow and white cat together. Almost mystical!

landscape...could be serenity

This pastel landscape I began last year while visiting in-laws. My mother in law is a fabulous artist, great with pastels and a super teacher. I put some finishing touches last night then framed.

Cade

Cade, my cowboy friend! I am trying to draw more at lunch time at a minumum and had this picture of Cade. I think it'll make a good water color painting.

KL

Nice soft pose. I liked the look and feel of this.

I've been going through some sketch pads...I have quite a few. Every once in awhile I find something i forgot about and really enjoy..this is one
