Patriotic Barn

Right after 9-11, we were in another part of Texas, and we passed this barn in the country.
I love the flag, etc. and I actually did a painting soon afterwards, and sold it.  This is just a daily sketch, but brings back memories.  I didn't quite get it wide enough  but guess thats the fun of sketching, esp with ink.  I used my brown tobacco ink that I love so much.

New Sketches

My favorite flowers! Tulips. I put some color down first, then drew the flowers.

The little camper was in New Mexico. I took this photo several years ago and just wanted to sketch it yesterday, in honor of Memorial Day.

The old barn is behind our house.  It is over 60 years old, and is falling down! Due to the wonderful rains, the sunflowers are growing like crazy back there.

June 12-13 I will be teaching a sketchbook class. Come join us! If you are interested, email me.
