Session Series 5

Let's Swim the Night Together


this one had started out to be part of the "circle" series, but had a change of direction when I was drawing what turned out to be "facial" features of the fish. So, the new direction was taken and I decided to include this in the "Session" series. I also went with some color in this one 


4 sessions/3 days


cheers and enjoy!!

Circle Series 4

Rabbit Stew


A "stew" of images associated with the rabbit. The "carrot" becomes more prominent in the color image. The title popped in my head a day later while I was looking at the artwork for the final time.




I will usually have a "final look" at the work after a day or so. In this final look, the artwork will either be completed or I will see something else and/or a need to add more. Not always a good thing because I have taken some pieces too far and completely lost what I wanted to create or  loose focus with the particular piece (rarely) But it is all part of the process and sometimes part of one drawing is a steeping stone to a completely new piece of work!


Cheers and enjoy!

 Three Rabbit Hides


not a complete circle, but it is there. The rabbit images in this piece appear to be hiding or trying not to be seen. I feel that "reasoning" works with both the b/w and color renditions.


Cheers and enjoy!!

Session Series

Sleigh


3 days, 4 sessions   With this piece, I spent one session just looking at the piece. Did not do any drawing. The "sleigh" made its appearance during the third session. 


Cheers and Enjoy!

At the Calgary Zoo Final

This last set is taken at the zoo, however no animals were used in the taking of these pictures. This was taken behind a small landscaped waterfall in the area that the mountain goats were in. Though the water still flows, ice is forming at and around the path of the water. Looked pretty cool (no pun intended) to me.


Cheers and Enjoy!


New "Session" piece coming up next!

At the Calgary Zoo 5

Final pic of the black wolf.

An interesting shot (at least to me) coming tomorrow

At the Calgary Zoo 4

Two views of the black wolf. No one was around when a group of us came around the corner and the the wolf watched us for a moment (1st picture) then realized it was only humans and laid back down (2nd picture) 


A proud animal even while held in captivity


Cheers and Enjoy!

At the Calgary Zoo 3

Final two for today.


Cheers and Enjoy!

At the Calgary Zoo 2

I was going to wait to post a couple of more, but Naaawwww, I'm going to do it now!!

Cheers and Enjoy!

At the Calgary Zoo

Taking a break from the artwork to post a few pictures taken at our visit to the Calgary Zoo, two weeks before Christmas.


Cheers and Enjoy!

Circle series 2

Guardian


The image of the "Guardian" came after the drawing and digital work (b/w) was completely finished and I was thinking about the color scheme. 


Cheers and Enjoy!!

Circle Series 1

Angry Gods


I got the idea for this series from a good friend who had asked me to draw a "mandala" for a project she was putting together and working on. 


I am drawing "half" the circle and then scanning into Photoshop to duplicate the image and "flip it" to complete the circle. Not entirely sure what the completed image will look like until the computer part is finished, but that's half the fun!!


Cheers and Enjoy!!


(thanks to Lori for this bit of inspiration!)
