FF Burning Bush


An idea for a stained glass window. The 2005 VBS Adult Class worked on it. Never finished.

Chara's View



I made the "tree behind" too dark. It was more airy, filigreed. So I erased it and tried again. But I think for the composition's sake, I like the darker one better.

FF Last Snow


The snow is a LaCrosse view I drew last summer with that peek-a-boo house.

easter pencils

He is risen indeed!




lamp posts


must have been short on time that morning


a house with an interesting breakfast nook in Lincoln Park (technically Meaux Park, which is what Google Maps calls the western half of Lincoln Park)


Brown Deer Park, looking across the pond - needs a tap or two from the Perspective Fairy's wand


On many an Easter I received a pencil or some other kind of art implement in my basket.  It must have worked!

bottle background

Remember this woman?  Here she is:


Wait, that doesn't look the same.  That's because it doesn't work until you put liquid in:


graphite scratchings








So a new sketchbook.  The first is carbonicles - it actually does pretty well for that "fog" effect, which is what was going on that day.  We also have a house, a curb and some neat tower-y things that are in WhiteMan Bay outside the Oasis bank - all in rootish 4B.  Snow escapes me.  Also, instruments.

finally got some gas for the scanner




So here we are, a van, some locals waiting for the bus, and back to the roots.  I think I missed the snow bus, though.  Anyway, this completes the first sketchbook!  On to the next!
