Doc



This is from a pic I took at the Bellevue Berry Patch. He was selling bird water whistles and when I asked him if I could take his pic he struck this perfect pose.  He said many artists have asked him for his pic. I titled is "Doc" because I thought he looked like an old time doctor.  He also looks like Santa so I probably will retool his hat and cloths at another time to do a Christmas drawing. The background, beard and face are done in graphite and the hat in carbon pencil. A combo of graphite and charcoal. In the next few days I will work the beard erasing adding graphite to get all the whiskers.  It's my first time doing this so wish me luck!

Ultra Classic Electra Glide

Got it done just in time!  I hope Larry likes it.  This took so much longer than I thought it would. Maybe I should work smaller when I use colored pencil.  Now off to a graphite project.

Artistic Rain Barrel














So the barrel is done! Well mostly.  I have to wait 2 days to spray on the top coat.  I thought it better to take some pics before the shinny top coat was put on & make my pics glare.  So this was my very first public art project and I think it went very well!   http://lincoln.ne.gov/city/pworks/watrshed/educate/barrel/artist/
