Author & Artist
I have always been interested in Watercolor color painting but never took the leap. Lately, I have begun some tentative attempts to learn more about the art form. Here is some of my trial pieces. These are small, measuring only about 4 inches square.
I took most of the games I’ve played over the years and put them into this piece. See how many you can name. (Ink and Copic Markers)
Games People Play
This is the time of year when family gathers to celebrate. A great excuse to break out the board games, play football, or participate in any one of a thousand forms of entertainment.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
How many games can you find?
Meet ‘Wally,’ the new character in the Al Clark Series Prelude-Christopher’s Journal. He doesn’t say much, but plays a mean game of Chess.
When I don’t have it in me to write – I draw. It keeps the old brain focused. I call this a Super Doodle. Incorporating all the different elements into the drawing was fun, although taxing. My Sakura Micron pens allowed me to blend at least 26 unique components into the piece, with some areas that are three dimensional. To tell the truth, I’m pleased with the end result.
How many scenes, objects, and creatures can you locate?
It’s been a while since I posted any art, and I have felt guilty. It’s just that there is so much time spent on promotion, there doesn’t seem to be much left. Anyway, this is an oldie but a goodie. Something I did many years ago, and one of my personal favorites.
I can picture myself (and fellow adventurers) exploring new planets, happily traversing the landscape without a care in the world.
My granddaughter is into rock painting, and is experimenting with paint markers. She’s a chip off the old block. These are mine. You can’t have them.
A view from space of the only known habitable planet. One would think we would appreciate the complexities and fragility of our world. There have been cataclysmic events in the past. However, we weren’t around to affect the change.
My current interest (when I’m not writing) is ink drawings, sometimes referred to as line drawings. I love the contrast.
Space elevators are only theoretical at this point in time, but in the future – who knows?
Sometimes it’s interesting to see what a black on white drawing looks like reversed. Which do you find most appealing?
The world is a complicated place. Science makes new discoveries daily, and still we know so little. Who can say that the extinction of elephants would not have an affect on us? I believe if there was no market for ivory the problem would be half solved.
