A Page From The Book

Just a sample. I'll post some pix of my sketches when I get to the
studio.

A New Book & Some Drawing

Saw this book a while back at a Borders, but didn't get it then, and
of course was sorry later.

It's not that I want to 'draw fantasy' (although in my mind that's
what all drawing/painting is--fantasy), but that something about this
book really made me want to pick up my sketchbook.

I've been wondering why, and I think it's precisely because this isn't
a 'how to draw a horse' kind of book--rather it's a 'how to draw a
horse that has claws like a lobster and branches for a mane'--in other
words, it forces me out of the box.

Of course that's a good thing--that box can get awfully comfy, and if
I'm not forced out of it, I might never leave...

Morning View

Sitting sketching and drinking coffee while the dogs run around. A
little cold out here in my pjs, but it's still one of the day's best
times. Simple pleasures...

After a weekend full of basketball in Fullerton with Jenny's All Star
team, I'm off to finish painting the set for this week's Springville
School production of "The Secret Garden". Here's a section of the 9'
by 25' loose canvas that I did for the backdrop. Besides this there
are five 9' square panels.

Highlight of last week's mad rush of painting? When a chubby little
boy came up to me while I was painting panels in the courtyard at
school and said, most sincerely, "You are a great painter."

A Yummy Meal

Pad Thai two days ago at the local Thai restaurant. It tasted as good
as it looked!
