The Factory in Watercolor

As you know, I am working on portraits these days.  Some take longer than I can post on a regular basis.  I am also continuing to draw and paint in my little town of Kernersville.  I thought I would post some of the backlog of drawings and paintings I have from my Friday morning fun. … Continue reading The Factory in Watercolor

The Boring Stuff

Watching UP last night (for the tenth time), I was struck by the little boy Russell's words.  Upon describing to Mr. Frederickson a memory of getting ice cream with his dad and sitting on the curb to watch the cars go by, counting the red ones and blue ones, he says, "That might sound boring. … Continue reading The Boring Stuff

Portrait #14: Moi

  I can see!!!!  Really! I got a new pair of glasses last week, and I can see so much I couldn't before!! This is my first pair of "progressive lenses". Hmmm...  Progressive?  Well, if growing older means I'm progressing, then so be it! It took a couple of days before the fishbowl feel went … Continue reading Portrait #14: Moi

Fè: Portrait #13

A host of emotions have been flurrying around our house and in my heart lately.  But this morning, I'm thankful. Thankful … Continue reading A Big Day!

Harmon House

I haven't posted in a while about my Friday drawing time downtown France Kernersville...but I've sure been drawing there and have been enjoying the company of other "sketchy" folks at the Factory.  I have a backlog of drawings to post. Here's one from a while ago, before the heat kicked up.  Somehow, staying at the … Continue reading Harmon House

Goofy Guy

Here's my guy being goofy! What's that you say? Randy being Goofy? Yep. His inner middle-school-child loves to joke around with unsuspecting people! So here's the story: We have a restaurant here in Kernersville (K'Vegas to locals) called Terri's Deli. Randy loves this restaurant and eats there frequently, lingering with his laptop to "work".  In … Continue reading Goofy Guy
