Beach Sketchbook


Working in a sketchbook is a continuing practice for me. The majority of the drawings presented here were done in minutes, with little or no revision. All of them were done on the spot. Structuring the two mixed-media landscapes did take more time & effort; even so, the intent was the same. Whether I was drawing linear figures or shadows on hills, the aim was to shape the form from the motion.

From May-June


You can paint in parallel with your life or in spite of it. Happy or lost, every day you pick up the brush. The results vary--as you can see here--& spring turns into summer.
