Family History

Two studies for a finished piece depicting artifacts from my family history including my paternal grandfather's shoe making tools and my mother's prayer book.

Power's Back On

Trying to get back to normal...

 

Lesson

What's 'er Name

Two Fer One

I think of this as two drawings occupying the same page: An early aborted effort at another United Methodist Church Pumpkin Patch which I shouldn't have quit on. I did a second drawing of a couple origami swans a month or so later heading back to the future end of the book.

Composition

Cutting the violin in half.

Deciding What to Draw

Sitting in my driveway trying to come up with some new place I could go to draw.

Gourds Again

Hopefully the definitive statement on fall gourds...

And Just to the Right...

Same spot as the last entry looking out the passenger side.

Ivy and Flower

Mindfulness Gong

Not do easy ...

Bag of Gourds

That time of year again...

Big Grass

Another spot on my morning walk, the west end of the lake below the dam. Just around the bend from the location of the previous post.

Did It Make a Sound?

In the Library

More adventures in three point perspective.

Art Supplies

First of the real two page spreads. And the introduction of three point perspective.

Two Fer

Geometry in action.

Instrument.

Team Time

Quiet Room

I'm hoping to be able to finish up with some kids on the floor by year's end.

Carousel

Current Sketchbook

This is the first item in my current sketchbook. It was done in my new classroom on the first day of school last August (30th). It's a plaster cast of a skull. The elephant was done at a meeting later that day. 

As I worked through this book I began treating it differently, making it a collection of two-page spreads, meaning all the drawings are done on the backs of all the other drawings (what they call "recto" and "verso.") This means essentially that the book now has to stay together as a single one-of-a-kind object.

You'll see in a few entries. If anybody sticks with me that long.

The elephant in the library. Made from wood cutouts by our Tech teachers, Matt Lugo and Rich DeVito.

Back Again!

I got a new scanner. I'm gonna try and do this thing again. Lots of images to put up here. Stay tuned...
