Hoping to post photos of some of my art. I've grown to like my hobby because it forces me to notice the world rather than simply consume it.

Watercolor and pen painting of a Serval Wildcat.
I saw a photo of a Serval Wildcat online and thought it would be an interesting subject. The long legs aren't mistakenly drawn, they must be quite fast.

Pen and ink drawing of a harried-looking instructor.
After seeing Ralph Steadman's show "and another thing..." I wanted to draw something up with concentric circles for eyes. This is Mr. Pleasealot, who says please a lot (i.e. Children please!)

I suggest you see Ralph Steadman's touring show "and another thing..." if/when it comes near you. I very much enjoyed the experience, anyway.

I've been practicing my watercolor figures. I found an exercise I liked and here is the result. I'll post a link to the exercise in the comments.

Chalk queen of diamonds drawing on black paper.
I was playing around with those faces you sometimes see carved into very old graves. I decided this would be discreet nude, as well as a subtle design for a queen-of-diamonds card.

Graphite drawing of a saw-whet owl styled with zentangle
Here is a graphite drawing of an owl. It might be a Northern saw-whet owl that I stylized with zentangle.

Pen copy after a Maude Lewis painting of a ship.
This is a pen copy after a ship by Maude Lewis. There is a film called Maudie if you would like to know more about her and her artwork. I needed something to decorate a notebook of drawing paper and liked this elegant design.

Pen, watercolor, and colored-pencil caricature of President Gaius.
Here is a pen and watercolor drawing of President Gaius, Supreme leader of the Apes. I like the way the material of the coat came out with just a simple crosshatch.

Here is a charcoal and woodstove-coal drawing of a chapel in Evergreen Cemetery in Portland, Maine. I think it was in the fall and towards evening. I was probably thinking about Halloween.

Pen drawing of two faces.
This pen drawing shows that, when you recognize a face you can ignore a lot.

Sharpie drawing of a stylized goose.
I like this as an idea for a tattoo. It is the goose that delivers good vibrations far and wide. It came from a watercolor about a Beach Boys song. Here it is in isolation as a sharpie drawing on a piece of brown backing material.

Gouache painting on black paper of an old codger.
Here is a small portrait in gouache on black paper. As I recall the subject was an old codger in a newspaper article.

Ink and watercolor painting of a woman squatting a barbell.
Here is another watercolor and ink painting depicting a woman lifting (in this case a squat). I used the ladies restroom icon with minor modifications to depict the lady lifter. The message is simple, girls can lift heavy.

Watercolor painting of a toy soldier in a dessert holding red balloons.
Here is a watercolor painting fail called, "Toy soldier holding red balloons in a dessert." The name came from a confused friend, trying to understand the scene. I could see what they were saying and had a good laugh.

Marker drawing of a hollyhock flower.
I think that traditionally Hollyhocks are planted near an outhouse, although these were in a garden. This is a marker drawing.

Charcoal still-life drawing of a pumpkin, two wine bottles, and a mixing bowl.
Here is another negative drawing, this one a timed still-life. The instructor set up a scene, set a timer, and said go. The idea was to capture as much as you can as quickly as you can to help you rely less on your thinking parts and more on your feeling parts.

Charcoal and graphite drawing of an aloe vera plant.
Here is a negative charcoal and graphite drawing of? (click image to find out). It is 18x24 and because it is large and black-and-white the subject can take a moment to identify.
