The Bridge

Just thinking about the ocean...

The Old Tree

Kinda hard to see.... I need to darken and add just a little in the foreground.

Early Ocean

Oooops..... back to '97. The Sentinel.

reflective lake -unfinished-

Needs some re-shaping and darkening...

cliff tree

I got myself a new sketch book and I am going to see how fast I can fill it up....

Blue Cabin

When I finish this it goes to my brother. It needs a small creek running through it...

Reflection Pond

A drawing of reflection pond with a piece of charcoal from the camp fire late 2006.

A simple ink drawing I made for Kathy.... the flash reflection doesn't really help it any... ?

Snowy Mountains

This was definitely '97 and I was trying to learn a little from Bob Ross with black construction paper......

The Beach

It was winter and this was my idea of a beach at the time.

Black Mountain

Chiwawa Falls

It doesn't take too long looking at this picture to see where the name came from.

Nickle Creek Falls

Small falls in the background.

Nickle Creek Cabin

A quiet, bright place to live.

Nickle Creek

Back around 1997 I was just starting to paint and experimented with poster paper and mostly semi-gloss house paint for background. I don't think I had the patience then for large areas with a small brush. From that came my nickle creek series. Sorry about the poor quality, but they are semi gloss, so no flash.

Piano 01

A special big THANK YOU to Carol for understanding and allowing me the time to set up delivery of this piano. I found it at a yard sale in town for $100 and I couldn't pass it up. My last piano cost about $300 and I don't think it sounded as good. I had to have that one tuned also, but this has one key slightly off, and I can fix that myself. I can't sit here at the computer and look at this picture any longer... I have to go play now....

Piano 2

I can only imagine the countless hours of entertainment this has in store for me. It is old and has the scars to prove it, but the heart of the piano is still there and has the sound to prove it. Not the rinky-dink sound of electronics, but the full deep throated base and ringing harmonies only found in a real piano.

Psycho delic

I thought a little bit of color on the blog would be good this time........

Night Trees Doodle - Artpad

A Beach in Green

I found this ceramic tile that I painted on years ago when I first started. It was just an experiment to see if it could be painted on. I still kinda like it...

Noodles Kitty

My girl cat likes to visit me when I'm out on the porch.

Low Flight - From YouTube

WHERE did our GPS say we were???

The comic me

Just the Two of Us

There. Now I can watch T.V. and listen to my girl at the same time!
