Italy Sketches

l am starting a new sketchbook, hopefully day 1- day 10 of our Italy trip. These are some from around the villa and the church down the road.  The gate post was at the back of the beautiful old church. The clock, the cross, etc. was at the front.  The red flower and vase was on the table at the villa. by the beautiful pool. Karolina and Dawid know how to make people feel good and relax. What an awesome experience.

More Sketches

I am really behind with my blog.  The door knocker was done with an ink brush. I saw this young man on facebook at a stock show so I ask his Mom if I could sketch it. It was a fun sketch!

 Fun sketch of a couple on a mission!

Sketching every day

Bandit

A friend of my daughter wanted a painting of her cat Bandit.  I will do one more with his hat and scarf.

Clocks and sketch

I think the clock is my favorite of the dictionary pages so far.  I used watercolor and gouache and I love the looks of gouache.  The sketch below is of a friend and his dad from long ago.

Clarinet

I did the clarinet because I played one for years.  I loved my old horn. I took it home from school nearly every day for years.  It seems it was an old friend to me.  I have gotten some feedback from it, with people sending some you tubes of clarinet music. It has been fun.
