This was the 2nd of 3 drawings I would do of this very special bouquet, given to me by a stranger at the Maku'u Farmers Market in Pahoa, Big Island Hawaii. It was the lead-in sketch to a larger, color composition. July 15, 2014
A recently constructed pathway to see alligators and egrets and other wild things on Little Saint Simons Island. This was a preliminary sketch for a larger wax pastel. Early November 2017.

I've visited Little Saint Simons Island many times over the years. Helen House is my favorite place to stay. A tabby house built in 1928 by Philip Berolzheimer, who had acquired the island in 1908. Finally, I got around to drawing this Great Room. I did 2 preliminary sketches--this one and Stuffed Chair--before I launched into a larger Neocolor II wax pastel drawing. Another one for my Inside/Outside Series. April 2, 2014
Continuing with my Inside/Outside Series: here a pencil sketch of the view from a bathroom window, looking across the lane to the neighbors house, from the house we stayed in on SE Big Island, Hawai'i. This was lead-in to a more developed, color drawing. July 10, 2014

William Combe’s “The Tour of Doctor Syntax: In Search of the Picturesque” was begun in 1809 and published in book form in 1812. Together with the accompanying aquatints by Thomas Rowlandson that inspired the poem, it satirizes the aesthetic ideals lying behind the picturesque and its frequently pompous followers. The poem tells how Dr Syntax, a curate, sets off in search of the ideal picturesque landscape only to be continually thwarted by bathetic and farcical inconveniences. During the course of the poem the unfortunate Dr Syntax stumbles into a lake while attempting to reach the perfect location from which to sketch a suitably ruined castle, is chased by a bull and driven to distraction by the incessant bleating of sheep. - See more at: www.bl.uk/collection-items/the-tour-of-doctor-syntax#stha...
This first tour of Dr. Syntax is accompanied by thirty colored illustrations by Thomas Rowlandson.
The third and final tour of Dr. Syntax in search of a wife is accompanied by twenty-five colored illustrations by Thomas Rowlandson.

The foundry is a couple blocks from Cedar Falls' downtown Main Street. This is from the back ally side. Beyond the woods is the RR tracks that lead to the coal burning plant and, beyond that, the Cedar River. Close to my house--I walk here regularly. I've been waiting for autumn to do this one. Late in the day, from my car, I drew this quickly in my pocket-size Moleskin. I went back the next afternoon to do a larger watercolor. flic.kr/p/h89wAE October 29, 2013

Carpinteria, California seal preserve. From the bluff above this section of the beach, one can observe the large population (~100 adults) of harbor seals basking on the sand. This group gathers here from December to May to birth and raise their babies. January 14, 2014
Done on my pocket size Moleskine watercolour notebook.
This is a 50 year-old grocery store run by two Chinese men who claimed that the business was passed down to them by their former employer. Located at a corner lot of a row of shophouses in this old market. The interior space is small and congested but I find it rather interesting. Limited by time and space on my small watercolour notebook I decided to focus and pen down just a small corner of the store – where goods are hung up on the shutter doors. The owners were extremely friendly, supportive and happy to have my presence around drawing their store.

First drawing of the New Year. Waiting to board before dawn at the Waterloo, Iowa airport. First drawing in a new pocket-size Moleskine. January 1, 2015
My previous pocket-size Moleskine was recently stolen along with another sketchbook, a Stillman & Birn Alpha--both chock full of drawings, not all of them scanned. Also, my take-everywhere sketch kit was snatched. I'm certain it wasn't the art or the art tools that the thief was after, but the worn but wonderful leather satchel that looked like a handbag.
Many hunting trophies are displayed at the Hunting Lodge at Little St. Simons Island. The lodge and the trophies date back to the 1920s when Philip Berolzheimer, of Eagle Pencil Company fame, made the island a retreat for his friends and family. Now, the Hunting Lodge is the main gathering place for the guests (32 max at a time)-- dining room, great room and natural history museum. December 8, 2013
