A really bad night.



A really bad night., originally uploaded by Liquidmethod.

Well, a crappy day merged to night. We had a really good model.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t focus enough to turn out a decent drawing.
I’m pissed, which I hope fuels me to work harder in the future
sessions. I have been lazy and not brought back the cont’e and
newsprint like I ought to. Well, that’s that. Tonight’s almost over.

Sketch 1

Just a quick sketch of two that I had to do because of monkey wrench
that was thrown at me earlier.

Another sketch I wanted to color but time constraints got it the way.

Church graveyard watercolor

You wouldn’t know it from the drawing, but it’s a chruch grave yard.
I tried to get a better spot, but I had food with me and ants came out
of nowhere and tried to devour me with their collective masses. So I
had to stand outside and sketch this. Maybe I’ll try another attempt
at this one later.

Sitting on the porch playin’ guitar

Something different folks. After painting trees all day, I needed to something else and enjoy what little day I had left outside. I tried to record this the first time, but a couple of Harleys drove by drowning me out. So here it is, my hobby. I say hobby because I suck dookie at playing guitar, but I have fun at it. So have a listen of me just fartin’ around on my porch.

Listen to my GEETAR!

Painting with just 3 colors and I think it’s keeping me in check!
Listening to Brian Olive: www.myspace.com/brianolivemusic "There is
Love". Very cool stuff.

More trees to paint!



More trees to paint!, originally uploaded by Liquidmethod.

Well I have about 9 more trees to paint today and that’s not even the
leaves or the animals I’ve yet to put in. After this painting is
done, I’m going to try my hand at some plein air outings. I already
have one area in mind to do first, which may take a couple of
afternoon sessions.

Close up of a large landscape

Been working on this landscape for awhile. I have been learning a lot
about painting trees which put me at a disadvantage since this
painting is so large and misteps are obvious.

Farewell Farrah

Farrah Fawcett

Say what you will about her later years. But in the 70’s Farrah was our Marilyn Monroe of the decade. The poster you see made her famous. She was smart enough promote herself with that poster than the producers of “Charlie’s Angels”. I forgot how many posters she sold, but it was in the high millions. If you have one in mint, you should consider yourself lucky.

Crummy Night at the Figure Drawing Group

Norfolk Drawing Group

I had a really off night.  Completely lousy drawings that were crap from the start.  I won’t shame myself any further because the last one wasn’t even saved.  I think it’s time to switch up media again.  It’s possible that I had an off night, but I think there is more to it.  Need a fresh perspective.  I like Painter IX, but not like this.  BLAH!

Quick watercolor sketch

A quick study that almost got me in trouble. Apparently parking decks
and painting don’t mix in Norfolk. Another reason the art scene here
is tough.

I love it when friends send me cool finds for inspiration.

A friend sent an awesome illustration to me. It’s a 1950’s menu from
a restaurant? Couldn’t read the signature, but I really dig the
work. If anyone knows who did this, let me know, I’d love to see if
the artist has anymore work online.

Summer is here, the water is warm. No vacation planned at some cool
surf destination. Here’s a sketch my son asked me to draw while
waiting to eat at some pizza dive I’ll soon forget.
