Pumpkin Patch Guardian
More black and white with my ‘real’ camera:
Shiny-Barked Tree (January 2009)
I got the trunk of this tree (especially on the dark side) just right. I don’t know what kind of tree this is, but the bark reminds me of cherry-tree bark.

Sketch Book Series: Hand (August 2014)
Just found this sketchbook. I like the drawing of the hand. It looks like I was at low ebb that day.
Sky Lights
I used my 35mm camera with a red filter for this one. I’m not used to shooting with a regular camera any more. It took more time than I care to admit to set this one up. I like it though.
Cup of Water (September 2010)
It is complicated drawing the myriad reflections of light through a clear glass of water. To be precise, one has to take the time to figure out the tonal values of overlapping reflections, refractions and shadows. If drawing outside, one can’t take too long, or the sun will move and tonal variations will change.

Sketch Book Series: Meeting Place (September 2010)
Sometimes sketching is just to nail down a memory.
