It looks like its been a year to the day since my last posting. Time flies. Here are a couple of sketches that I've done since last post. I'll be posting some more up soon.












A short gouache sketch overlooking the Santa Monica mountains on a rare overcast day.

This was a quick drawing of half dome while at Yosemite this past November. It was intended to be a watercolor sketch but the sun was dropping below the mountains before I could get set up so I instead finished it as a pencil sketch.

This was from a park overlooking the Santa Monica mountains. I hopped a small fence that was obstructing my view and sat in the grass painting. 2 hours later was informed by park police that although my painting was nice I would get fined for jumping the fence. They ended up leaving me with just the warning...

This is a local park down the street from my house. Painted in about 2 hours. Watercolor and gouache. 6x6.

This was painted looking out my living room window across the street. I am using watercolors and gouache on toned sketchbook paper about 6"x6".

mirror lake

I went to Yosemite National Park for Thanksgiving and did this quick sketch after a short hike to Mirror Lake. Spent about an hour on it before the sun disappeared and the temperature dropped. Unfortunately the lake was dried up.
