AFTERNOON LIGHT

My first drawing with soft pastels began at a one-day group workshop in Bath, Maine.

GREENE MARINE

This is a partial plein air drawing. The preliminary sketch and notes were taken one summer day on a scrap of paper while eating a lobster roll at Day’s Take Out in Yarmouth, Maine. After working on the composition at home, I returned to Day’s Take Out to complete the painting.

REACHING FOR THE SUN

This directional drawing utilizes predominately overlapping hatching lines almost to the point of burnishing. It began as a plein air sketch in Del Mar, California. The sketch became the basis for this drawing, completed in 2008.

ODE TO GEISEL

This drawing is a fun, relaxed play of line and ink that made me think of Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat.

POPPY

A tonal value study, the title reflects what I see in the shadows behind the blossom, the outline of a man in a hat. Thus, the play on “poppy,” the flower and the affectionate title some children call their fathers.

WOODS ON MERE POINT
I appreciate trees and forests for their coolness, majesty, and vastness. When my daughter saw this watercolor, she said, “Dwarfed by nature.”
