I've been sketching a bit more as of late, so a good mix of work and home in these pages.

I've painted this before a couple of years ago. Thought it'd be worth a revisit to see what's changed over time...

I had planned for this painting to be posted next week, but Keiser just posted something with similarities, and I'd hate to feel like folk think I'm just picking up after him... ;)

Inspiration Sunday

I know I owe the third part of this series:
Notes on becoming an artist... part one of three
Notes on becoming an artist... part two of three

But it's my blog and I reserve the right to give my self an extension on part three. :)

I did mention that Sundays are for inspiration. Normally I'll probably focus on a single artist to keep these posts short. The following three artists though are sketch artists-- so here's a quick outline of each...

Nimit Malavia-- check out the "process' section of his website.


Donald Colley-- and his website.


James Jean-- website

Select a year, then use the "previous/next' buttons below the image that pops up to explore the sketchbook.
NOTE: many of Jean's pages contain nudity and/or sexual suggestive imagery, and would be considered "Not Safe for Work." They are also amazing-- you can spend hours looking at these.

There's a petting zoo in Tillamook Oregon on the way to Lincoln City, and since Mary Jo loves the animals... I get a sketch stop.

I usually leave the flowers to those more capable, like Sarah Sedwick, but every now and again...
