This is a fictitious Light Beacon on a rocky shoal off the coast of New England. The Light Beacon structure would be un-manned at a remote location on a rock outcropping. Graphite pencil in a Stillman and Birn Beta Sketchbook.

Christmas Card Studies

Christmas Card Studies for 2016. Quick pencil sketches in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook. I was going to select the bottom left and print the cards and then add watercolor by hand. Change of direction when Staples cannot print onto the watercolor cards. Time to re-think.

McLaren F1

The McLaren F1 is a beautiful super car. The hand built sports car was designed by Gordon Murray, had been working on a one-plus-two seating configuration since 1969. Twenty years later, his innovative arrowhead concept came to fruition in the F1. Pentel mechanical pencil with HB lead in a Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

House Studies

A couple of quick studies for a future watercolor painting of our house. The plan is for more of a graphic painting focusing on the foreground flowers as much as the house. The flowers are Black Eyed Susan’s, Daises and Cone Flowers. Graphite pencil in a Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.
