Sometimes you've just got to have a little color around...

Toward the end of 2010 a couple of friends decided to do a drawing or sketch a day in the new year. Starting January first, we drew... and drew... and drew. At first I emailed mine to a few folks who indicated an interest, but that was cumbersome, so a friend suggested I post them to a blog.

Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's a bit of a slog, but many times it's black, white and grey - the drawings can be in colored pencil but often they're in pen or graphite...

Sometimes I'd just as soon paint!

It's a Wet, Blue World (two)

 
     I titled this oil Where Cypress Stood. It is rather large, at 31" x 46". The scene is off of Indian Island in North Carolina. As the water rises and the land erodes, the trees nearest the edge - often the dramatic old cypress and the tall straight pines once used for ships' masts - die off. Their skeletal remains provide both vertical and horizontal elements in the beautiful and haunting shore landscapes.
