I went very early on purpose to watch the short-eared owls hunting and was rewarded with some great views. Also reed buntings and lapwings.
Evening sketch of the night, I found a little sun and especially lively terraces.
Croquis du soir, j'ai retrouvé un peu de soleil et surtout des terrasses animées.
it took me a while to think of a different spin using the same framework for this challenge - love this pattern as a feather. steps for the feather on the LHS on my blog: www.alittlelime.blogspot.com, in the main content, or click on "patterns".

JEAN GENIE!
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go and everything tastes right
Poor little Greenie
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!
Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!
He's so simple minded he can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved, loves to be loved
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!
I thought I'd try some outdoor sketching in the park today. Both these sketches were done in deKoevend Park in Littleton, CO. This is a very pretty park, with the Highline Canal running through it, and huge cottonwoods growing along the canal.
I've been doing a lot of reading about drawing, both in pencil and pen (perhaps I should be doing more drawing than reading). I get all excited about going out and doing some "plein air" sketches, then once I get started I realize "oh yeah, that's how I draw ... not like those folks in the books ... damn."
Oh well, at least I was out there, getting my first sunburn of the year.
The first sketch was done with a black Sakura "Pigma Brush" pen, a gray Pitt brush pen, and a very fine (005) Sakura "Micron" pen. It's mostly a value study, but I definitely overworked it. I could not figure out how to render the tangle of underbrush at the middle right. The sketch took about 15 minutes.
The second drawing is of what was a very pretty scene along Big Dry Creek. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture the nature of the scene, which was the gracefulness of the trees bending out over the creek, and the quality of the light. This drawing was done entirely with Staedtler 0.3 pigment liner. I drew it while standing on a bridge next to the creek, and spent about 20 minutes on it.
Both drawings done in a large Moleskine sketch book.
Happy New Year, Everyone!! Blessings for 2014! This is a sketch of a found antique photo (unknown source). I like the sense of contentment from her and want to use this drawing for other, painted projects.
Trying to restrain the colour and keep more white. I can't decide on the focal point now, especially after Hamish plopped himself down in front. Maybe he adds to the composition? Canson Montval 300g paper in handmade journal.
Some sketches from Aiguillon (Lot et Garonne) on Southwest of France between Bordeaux and Toulouse....examples of works for the future sketchcrawl the last W.E of October 2014 : 25 and 26 Oct
Quelques croquis indicatifs pour découvrir cette petite cité médiévale lieu d'un marathon du croquis pendant le festival international d'aquarelle "Confluences" le dernier W.E d'octobre 2014 ( 25 et 26)
Haven't decided whether to use this as a basis for a painting. Ideally I'd keep the rough loose feel, but do it with acrylics and have vibrant colors. On the other hand, the composition just ain't that inspiring. Might leave it just as a sketch and go on to other pictures.
