Sketching NOW Submissions

As part of Liz Steel's SketchingNOW on-line course, I did these two pieces.  The first is a meta-sketch (a sketch about sketching); the red item in the middle is my "chop", a Chinese signature/logo 'thingy'.  The result is in the lower, left corner.  It has the Chinese symbol for watercolor and my name.

This is an exercise is setting dimensions, and one I'm very familiar with.

Marigny House, New Orleans

Marigny is the NOLA district just east of the French Quarter . . . kind of like the Quarter was 35 years ago.  It's full of old houses, bars and local cafes.  I liked all of the shuttered windows, poles and wires and gritty feel of this place.

Merry Christmas

My dog, Tucker, and I send you wishes for a Merry Christmas!
