Two drawings tonight. Didn’t get much sleep so I couldn’t focus too long on the drawings cause I was so tired.

Session #024, Work #021
Finished one drawing tonight and started another. Although I have already wiped that second one out. Drawing, drawing, drawing, I can’t do enough of it.
Bandera Mountain Hike
Wonderful hike today. One hour from Seattle off of I-90 exit 45 is Bandera Mountain.
Session #023, Work #021
Tired after a wonderful hike today, I just focused on the very basics of drawing. I will plan to continue this tomorrow.
Jeremy Lipking
Jeremy Lipking is the same age as me. His paintings are amazing, I wonder if I had not stopped if I could be painting as…
Session #022, Work #020
Like I said last painting, I’m going to do nothing but draw for the next few painting. This one was awful again.
Karin Jurick
I found Karin Jurick through a random link online. She did a series called “Bust-ed” consisting of 100 faces from mug shots. The paintings are…
John White Alexander
The influence of illustration can bee seen in John White Alexanders painting. Their smooth and flowing compositions are quite relaxing.
Jeremy Mann
Simply amazing. Jeremy Mann is a great example of an artist whose skills I would love to have and I’m current working towards.
Jack Vettriano
...
Jack Vettriano’s provocative subject and subdued lighting indicates a underlying narrative to each painting, but my real love for these paintings is the way he simplifies the forms masterfully.
Frank W. Benson
Thanks to my later years in college I have a soft spot for 19th century american painters.
Session #021, Work #019
Some painting nights are a huge disappointment. Tonight was one of them…
Session #020, Work #018

The second half of my orange in the coffee cup painting.
Session #018, Work #017
So I decided to try some reflections, and since I like coffee, a coffee cup seemed to be appropriate.
Session #017, Work #016
I painted the orange for a second time. This is a fun subject, the bright colors make me crazy because now I want to try…
Session #016, Work #015
After a bad day lets paint something easy I thought. Oranges seem easy, right?
Session #015, Work #014
I painted the Taiper for a second time. I split up my canvas and did the Taiper 4 times.
Session #014, Work #013
After getting home late from dinner I asked Pattie to pick another item from her wall of collectibles.
Session #013, Work #012
I painted the Beluga statue for the second time. This time I zoomed into the statue much further and focused on drawing and major shapes.
Joaquín Sorolla
Joaquín Sorolla, one of the great painters from Spain. His work has always amazed me.
Wayne Thiebaud
Mostly known for his images of cakes but I really liked his landscapes.
Session #012, Work #011
Pattie’s favorite animal in all the world is the Beluga whale and today I painted a figurine of hers that features this majestic creature.
Joseph Alleman
I found Joseph Alleman online yesterday his work captures breathtaking landscapes with such simple virtuosity.
