Painting #3 – Resting at Shepherdstown

Here’s my third of the 100 painting project — still on the Shepherdstown WV subject matter.  This one was simple compared to those other two!

The painting & the reference.

Painting #2 – Kayaking at Shepherdstown

I hadn’t gotten done with being proud of Sunday’s 1-of-100 painting when – – – – it was time to do another one!  This is gonna be tough!  Since I’ll have lots of surfaces to kill during this project, I figure I’ll keep going with more of my Shepherdstown references til I have a little collection of similars.

Here’s #2, along with its reference.  Hmmm, the minute I put the brush down I start counting the snafus.

Doodles While Traveling

We flew to California for Christmas this year and, as usual, I occupied myself at the airports and in-air by some iPad doodling.  Thought it would be fun to share some of those from this and earlier flights with you.

New Paintings Over the Holidays

I squeezed in a few iPad paintings over the Christmas holiday.  My favorite is this sketch of son Sam and grandson Max relaxing over a new book.  I shared on Facebook & will add again below the little scribble I did of Max’s lego creation made from a complex (5 bag) set on Christmas Day.  He only called for adult help once or twice in the multi-hour endeavor.  Way to go, Max!
