Gouache on Paper
Actual Size: 8.5″x11″

Although the Vikings tended to be violent looters, their craft was beautiful. This painting had a lot of ups and downs, but I really enjoyed making the water. Color is pretty new to me. Hopefully, with some more endeavors, I will begin to improve.

Another photo taken at Ocean City, NJ. The weather was fantastic. It got warm enough for us to wade in the shallows. Thanks to Dave and Alex for being good subjects.

I finally processed a roll of film that I started using this past September. Some of the images are great shots from a fantastically bright and happy day in Ocean City, NJ with my Scottish friends, Dave and Alex. Here is one of Alex, all smiles.

I drew this picture for my friend Jeff. It is once again based on a photo I found. I really like how different each building is.

I drew this for my parents’ Christmas gift. It is a little sketchy in the water but I am pretty pleased with the rest of it. The boats in the background were surprisingly hard to get right but the detailing was fun.
