Ringed Kingfisher
My colorful Kingfisher has a mean look as it searches the landscape for food and for any of his enemies. This is one of nearly 90 species. This one is found in southeast Texas in the USA, Central and South America. I love the color, the white ring ar...
Amtrak At Sunrise
An Amtrak passenger train roars out of the sunrise as it heads west on a cross country haul. Train travel is still very magical to me. If you have time, travel by train. You will find it is so much fun and very relaxing. The views are generally spec...
Pine Tree With Mail Boxes
Last week I was up at my mom's home doing the lawns, trimming and cleaning up her property. While resting in the shade, I noticed the pine tree and row of mail boxes directly across the road. I always wanted to sketch this scene and just so happened,...
Senior Citizen
This old drawing of a senior citizen shows exactly what happens to all of us as we get older. We get wrinkles! While wrinkles bother us all, we must look at them as merely a part of the aging process so we need to learn to live with them. Some people...
Mugs For Coffee Lovers
This painting shows just a few of the many coffee mugs that we have amassed in one of our kitchen cupboards. My wife and I both love coffee which reminds me that there is nothing like that first cup of coffee in the morning. What a treat! We have our...
Anthony Lake, Oregon
This painting shows a view of a pretty lake known as Anthony Lake located in the northeast corner of Oregon, USA. This lake is nestled in the Elkhorn Ridge of the Blue Mountains at an elevation of approximately 7,000 feet. The mountains in the area ...
Night Time Sets In
A country farm sees night time setting in. It is a point in time when night takes over and daytime ends and is a nice time of the day. This scene shows the moon with a little of its sparkle and a hint of daylight as the sun falls below the horizon. 1...
Waterfront Fire Protection
The Port of San Francisco has some cool looking fire boats that protect the waterfront area when fires break out. Just because there is water nearby doesn't mean there won't be fires. During earthquakes, it's surprising how much the fire boats are u...
Lush Forest
Totally imaginary painting of a lush forest scene. I looked at several forest photos and came of with this wet, loose rendition of my own. While the actual painting is really of "nothing", the image reduced down and put onto note cards is very attrac...
Cool Springs Station
The rebuilt Cool Springs station is now a gift shop offering souvenirs and one-of-a-kind Cool Springs memorabilia. Cool Springs is located about 20 miles west of Kingman, Arizona on Route 66. After driving many miles through "nothing" you arrive at t...
Red Trees
Colorful trees with brilliant red and orange leaves rustle in the wind. These leaves are rapidly falling and soon will be gone so the trees can survive another cold, long winter. But never fear, the warmth of spring time will allow the new buds to ap...
Extreme Environment
This healthy tree has survived the heat, cold, wind, rain, snow and altitude and somehow still seems to live forever. This drawing shows the extreme environments in which living things survive. I drew this several years ago and gave the original away...
Misty Hills
Small, loose, wet painting of the open-ness of distant misty hills for Illustration Friday. This is an early morning painting showing mist and fog remaining low to the ground before the sun heats the day. Ink and watercolor, 5" x 7"....
San Francisco Apartment
Sketch of a very neat apartment building near Japantown in San Francisco. These are lots of fun to draw because there is so much to draw. This building was very well kept and newly painted. I used Micron pens with Faber Castell "Shades of Grey" brush...
Autumn Woods
Lots of color highlight this autumn scene in a wooded area far off the beaten path. Some leaves will remain green throughout the winter but the mixture of the leaves turning in color along with the remaining green is fantastic. Ink and watercolor, 8...
Kaiser Waiting Room
I took my wife to her doctor appointment at Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento. I took my pens and drawing booklet and started sketching. I did several sketches that were OK but this one I liked the best. The man was sitting directly opposite me so I ha...
Auburn Promenade
The newer Auburn Promenade is the old Auburn Hotel located uptown Auburn, California. The refurbishment of the outside facade of this structure is really very nice--still old looking but updated. I love the detail on this building and I kept everythi...
Backyard Purple Plum
A fast-growing purple plum tree is located just outside of our property in one corner of our yard. They are pretty trees and I discovered they are more difficult to draw and paint than I thought. There are many shades of purple in the tree that you...
