another city drawing

Okay, so I finished one more city drawing.
It's got a bit of wonkiness to it, but that's part of what I like about it.
It's also the one that is most "tight".
Check it out and see what you think, and leave me a comment or criticism.

a revelation...

I think I figured out something I like doing/drawing, that might make a good series.
It's a city scene.
Not like the previous bridge, but like what I worked on for our church's next sermon series.
See left.
I actually made 2 dawings.
One which is more abstracted, from imagination.














5x7" colored pencils and pen on sketchbook paper

One that was based off a real place, using a picture for reference, but using quite a bit of "artistic license".














6.75 x9" colored pencil and pen on paper


What do you think?
Would you want it up in your wall?

The bridge is done

I've worked on this painting for a long time. It started out in my mind as something that would be a face, but the difficulties and series of unexpected results in the early stages of preparing the canvas made me feel as if it had to become a cityscape of sorts. Inspired by one of photographs, and just pushed on by a emotional color choice, I finally finished this mixed media piece.
It took long, and I struggled through much of it, and had some great learning experiences because of it, but I'm just glad it's done.


















I'm still not very much in love with it. What do you think?

I can handle any criticism, or praise you send my way.

another sketch at church


This time, it was done at a church we visited. The Covenant Live Church.
I drew a couple people but this is my favorite of the sketches.
This kinda thing has been the extent of my work lately.
Nothing finished til today([more about that on the next post].
But I get little drawings in here and there.
I imagine with our move, the drawings and painting will dwindle down as I pack instead.
I've also been working toward my own personal artist/illustrator website, and will make that public very soon. Thanks to my wonderful husband and his awesome programming skills!
