Large shell

This was drawn from an 8" long shell that I found in Aruba. The background effect was done by sprinkling salt onto the wet paint.

Eagle Beach

A colorful scene sketched and painted on our beach. The stand is where the Jet Ski operaters set up. This is looking north.

Table for two

A tiny sketch that I did during dinner at the beach restaurant.

Getting on toward evening (which came at about 6:30), the sky was a pretty blue against the orange roofs.

Two beach scenes

While standing in the water, I drew a scene about 9" long showing a good portion of Eagle beach. I am showing it in bits and pieces, because it looks better. I painted it later on. It was actually fun to draw with the waves bumping into me, threatening to soak my paper.

Seashell

Drawn with my Lamy pen on Vellum bristol. I don't know why more tourists weren't exploring the lava rocks, where very cool things like this could be found. Just wait until you see my Chiton exoskeleton!

Lion

This is an early painting from my trip. I like the energy of it, and would like to try to acheive this look for more of my work. Slightly underworked with the focal point being the most detailed part of the painting. I think mood is a key factor- I sat down intending to read but decided to just scribble a little. I was just having fun and not intending to do a 'serious painting'.
Funny how that works.
