Freezing temps mean keep drawing were it is warm. I've been getting my drawing muscles worked out. I'm having to work with the gear in my drawing travel bag; that's a challenge. I've been drawing with acrylic markers and ink. Now I'm drawing with watercolor and pencils.

Testing these materials for my 365 project. Join my mailing list to get updates by email.

The new year has brought me back to drawing with pencils again. It has started with my small travel kit that I often use at coffee shops and cafes.

The small drawings currently combine paint markers and pencils. These are experiments for what will be larger drawings in the near future.

i’m happy to be drawing again. It was difficult to do much in November and December.

I've begun working on a plan for my 365/2019

I'll begin making drawings in February. This is my sketchbook where I started setting the perameters.

I expect to create my grids this weekend so I can test some of te systems I'll ned to keep the drawings centered and keep to the process.

Looking forward to sharing more as soon as I cam.

Eight hours driving to get to the cabin and drawing paradise.

Happy to settle in with my art go bag and make drawings with a hot cup of Joe beside me. I made a few drawings and used my sketchbook to get some impressions recorded for making more formal drawings back in the studio.

This is time I use without the intrusion of the net and social networks. No electricity. Just grilling, nature and drawing.

I was happy to partiicipate in the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours again in 2018. I had many wonderful, thoughtful visitors. I had a large selection of new drawings.

I'm currently assessing participating again in 2019. More likely than not. Its always good to meet new folks and talk with fellow artists.

Working on a new large drawing. I’m a bit further along than when I snapped this process image.

This panel has a sheet of Stonehenge mounted on it. The wash is made with a vinyl paint and the dots are acrylic ink made with a syringe. I expect to have the dots completed in my next visit. Then I will determine whether other marks are needed.

Sketchbooks at the ready.

A lovely Red Pine pine cone. So few of them these days it seems. I love their blueish bark.

I'm making drawings influenced by my mountain retreat. This pine cone will work iits way into the drawings.

I've been busy in the stuudio adding a new series of All Sorts drawing to my work. I'm hoping to have he individual pieces for sale at my open studio and to have an installation group that could be purchased as a whole.

I've been making larger drawings lately but now have slid in two directions at the same time.

These three drawings use many of the materials I have been experimenting with this year. Watercolor and acrylic paint markers and vinyl paint cover Strathmore watercolor paper almost completely.

I'll blot and press them to eliminate the curl or mount them on museum board. It's fun to make these pieces inspired by some sketchbook drawings.

More to make.
