Terry Parker High Reunion Invititation


My thirty year high school class reunion is currently being planned and I was asked to draw up an invite. Whewww, time flies (when you’re having fun)! I can’t believe all these years have gone by so quickly. It’s for Terry Parker High School in Jacksonville, Florida. Ahhh, the good ‘0l days. Oh yeah, our team mascots were the “Braves” which explains the guy and gal with the megaphones.

BTW, it must be Barack Obama‘s reunion year too. I keep hearing on the newscasts that he’s the same age as me. I know I’m getting up there in the years when a candidate for president is the same age. Sheesh.

Creekside Artists: First Plein Air Outing


For the first time, my hometown artist group (Creekside Artists in Clayton, CA) had a Plein Air outing. We set up our chairs and easels near the flower stand at the weekly farmer’s market down a bustling downtown street. The wind was brisk, but the coffee and friendships warmed the heart. It’s nice to see our little town getting more involved with the art scene. A special thanks to Arlene and Alice for putting this all together. Hopefully this is the first of many. Happy painting everyone.

Illustration Friday: Clique


Here’s a quick sketch for this week’s word “Clique”. I’m playing around a bit with my dipping pen and ink again as I was inspired by the work at the Charles Schultz Museum by the master himself. I tried to draw kings and queens in their typical poses of “drama”.

Drawing my dog Angel with the same pen and ink from above. I really liked the quality of the line, so I’m posting it. The lines really seem to speak to me, like a symphony of various sounds only it’s in lines. I’ve noticed that when I draw a quick line and I’m confident with the stroke, I get the best results.

Have a good week everyone.
