A drawing appropriate for our Easter celebration here. From my sister-in-law Nancy.

Ok, I took the unusual step of deleting a post. I just wasn't happy with the one of my dad, so I'm going to work on it a little more and post soon. In the mean time, here's the new official one for today.

I saw this small shotgun house on a drive through old town.

Another construction drawing. These roofers are pretty much fearless. Got to tell you, I recently got on twitter. I'm not too sure how it works yet, but you can sign in or sign up and search my name and click to follow. You'll get my drawings on your device quick and easy! 

The last version of this still life.

Second drawing of this still life with a different styling.

I'm taking a different compositional approach to this 3 part series.

Just an out of the way view at a shopping center.

I'm back to the seashore with a drawing of a small dock. This one owes a debt to Paul Cezanne.

Here's the same pillar a few days later. A crew is topping it with a torch.

Here's some construction going on. They're tiling the post or pillar.

Third drawing of this pose with yet another stylistic treatment. Seems like she must be a dancer.

Second day of work on this pose. I'm still trying different finishing techniques.

Back to some figure work. The model was feeling energetic on this one.

Today marks day and drawing number 265. I guess tomorrow will be the first drawing down the home stretch. I think a drawing of Motif #1 is an appropriate subject for this milestone. For those of you who don't know, Motif #1 is a fish house in the harbor at Rockport, Mass. It's probably the most painted and drawn structure in North America.

Here's the Wood Stork again, this time with some much smaller Glossy Ibises.

I can't resist keeping the tropical theme going. Being at the beach among the coconut trees is hard to beat.

Sometimes it's nice to get away from it all, where you can just relax.

I didn't want to do a standard boat drawing so I used creative elements in this one.

Here's the last of the 3 drawings from that still life. This one has taken a more creative turn.

Here's the same still life with a different stylistic treatment.

Here's a small still life. This one owes a debt to Paul Cezanne.

It's been a while since I've been able to post a portrait. For one reason or another, I haven't been able to get with the people on my list . But, today I'm happy to post one of my long time friend and former art school roommate, Martin Schaus. He won the big award when we graduated. Martin's an artist, a creative director of print and TV ads, and a lifelong surfer.

Found at a boat yard. I find the different shapes of boats interesting.

Here's a water tower nearby, not one of the more common subjects. These are being phased out, replaced by, on the ground, water tanks. I thought the trappings of work being done made an interesting drawing.

Outside a dockside restaurant. I think the wheelhouse shape of the restaurant attachment against the tourist scooters is interesting. Finished this yesterday but got side tracked and didn't post.

Cannon welcoming you to a museum.

Last of the three. The same still life with different stylistic possibilities.

Still life number 2 with a very different treatment.

Time for a still life. After the wooden bird and the plastic horse I think I'll go back to something more conventional for this one..

There's always Mediterranean architecture in the tropics.
