Earth Day: Ranunculus

Happy Earth Day. This is unfinished gouache painting, but wanted to post it in stages.
More versions to come. I like the sketch and may do some line drawings just in black and white...hmm...

Have a nice Earth Day night:)

Brush & Ink

Pumas have striking features. This study sketch done with brush and ink from a photograph

Nina Brooding. Sometimes one only has 10 minutes to sketch and try to capture something that you see in that one moment...If I had had a longer time (she wouldn't sit any longer) I probably would have overworked this drawing. This firstborn child is now 25...still brooding sometimes...but mostly just a beautiful, wonderful, funny, talented, gifted writer and human being.
