So the point of this rather odd little sketch made completely out of my head, is to ask a question: Who is he? There's this man, who stands on the side of Sedge Garden Rd. near the intersection with Kernersville Rd. He's there every morning when I take Maddie to school. He's there every afternoon … Continue reading Mystery Man

Draw Where You’ve Never Drawn Before
As I've been thinking about 2012 and that it marked the year when I took my sketchbook places I'd never taken it before, I started to wonder what other places in my life I could take my sketchbook and draw. I HAVE taken it to my school where I teach and I've drawn there on … Continue reading Draw Where You’ve Never Drawn Before

Even on Gray Days

No matter how gray. No matter the fog. No matter the chill. Fridays have been lovely to venture downtown … Continue reading Even on Gray Days

It’s not the flowers themselves…
I have an online friend and fellow artist who lives in New Zealand and paints and illustrates beautifully in watercolor. Hanneke recently posted some paintings of flowers and titled her post, "Practicing Flowers". One of the things I enjoy about being a fellow WordPress blogger, is that we can chat back and forth with ease, … Continue reading It’s not the flowers themselves…
Multi-Colored Pens!
I recently went through a phase. Ha! One of many I tend to move in and out of. It keeps things fresh. It keeps me on my toes. Different ways to view and then capture a place or a person. All of my Flexi-Sketch drawings are done with multi-colored pens and Neocolor II crayons added … Continue reading Multi-Colored Pens!
