"Old Tree"

I sat in a lawn chair in this nice, quiet neighborhood and sketched this wonderful old tree for a couple of hours one summer day. It was early evening and it was so peaceful. It was quite a challenge but I enjoyed the experience. Thanks for visiting!

"O Christmas Tree"

This was a quick sketch I did originally without much background or shading. After about a year I went back to it and created a more finished piece. I used charcoal, sharpie pen, white conte´pencil, kneaded eraser and my fingers! It's an interesting mix of textures, values, mediums, and methods. I hope you like it! Thanks for visiting!

"Shed in the Sun"

A plein air sketch of a nice rural scene in the town of Hollis, NH. It was a beautiful summer day and the area was very quiet. I have driven by this many times and always wanted to do something with the scene. On this day I was in the mood for sketching. I worked it up in the studio to finish things up and correct any areas I wasn't happy with. Thanks for visiting!

"Field on Hawthorne Drive"

A nice, plein air sketch of a wonderful field just off Hawthorne Drive in Bedford, NH. This property is owned by an old farmer and he just lets it be - it's nice and overgrown and left alone. Looks like from the past. Just a simple, quaint sketch.
