Drawing on a road trip endsa little Fishy

The tempeture had begun to drop and the rain sending the leaves down.I couldn't resist the fall folagaige all around as we took a road trip on Saturday. I worked on this small watercolor as we went. This is a combination of views. As we came to bends in the road I would study the values of the assvault, then the way the median looked as I waited for a repeat in type I was working on. The tree refrence was endless of corse.

After our designate deststination we took a side trip to Cabela's upon getting to the entrance we watched a chinsaw carver. How cool was that  for a start!

My husband and oldest son reaped the rewards of the merchandise there but the entire family enjoyed the displays of animals and fish tanks.They are all there in for the purpose of educating the public about conservation.

We spent a lot of time watching the fish in the room size fish aquariums. I was able to 'catch with a few with my line'. Close by, the kids working on their recordings and photos. Again working in my moleskin with the XF Pitt Artist Penn.

Following night during a soccer practice I added in some light washes of color.

EDM #237 Under your bed

As a rule I do not keep anything under my bed. so to my sup rise I found this. It is a pj top of one of my 7ear olds. He is famous for putting his clothes anywhere but in the hamper-even when it is 5 feet away! I usually find them under HIS bed.

this was done with an xf artist pitt pen.

Just Sketchin', then the Rain...keep sletchin' in the rain...

Back end beauty

Made out to the Butler County Farm show for a sketch Crawl. It started out as a overcast day then the clouds and buckets of rain rolled in...That didn't stop us though!


I ripped down some watercolor to about 5x7 for a small clipboard I took. I placed 2 on the board and put the rest in a baggie to keep them clean and dry. it worked very well. when walking I turned the back side out just in case I got bumped or sneezed on by some goat or like.



As one was started, the cow -excuseme- steer-would move, so I started another. He would move back and I would continue on that angle. that seemed to be a good way to get something done.




Chickens on the other hand- never stop moving. Wow, anytime one chicken would 'crow' or squawk they would jerk their head in that direction. With over 50 cages in the tent- It was non stop. Good trick with these guys though you could tap on the cage with your pencil or hold your hand up and they would look at it. Then being able to direct them back to the pose. Who knew?
