A rock wall near the lake shore in Fish Creek, WI from my summer vacation. Just got around to drawing it.

Stream Sketch
A sketch from a photograph I took just downstream of the dam on Lake Olathe a couple weeks ago. It’s not perfect, I was just kind of playing with it.

Photomanipulation: Butterfly on Flowers
I was playing with Photoshop today and photomanipulated this. It should look like a realistic butterfly perched on a watercolor-ish flower cluster. What do you think?
The butterfly is a Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta). I’m not sure what the flower is, but it’s one of those common landscaping flowers you see in planters and beds all over the place. I took this photo at a mini-golf course last summer in Sister Bay, Wisconsin.
That is SO Truthy!
I was just playing with fonts and brushes for no readily apparent reason and I came up with this. Guess what cable comedy news show I was watching today. 🙂
The fonts are RubberStamp-Extended, Liberate, and Rosewood Std. I didn’t create the fonts.
Actually, it did serve a purpose. I really was experimenting with some new brush techniques and trying a couple tricks with manipulating fonts. I learned some stuff.
Red Circle
This image popped into my head the other day and wouldn’t leave me alone. No idea why. Not my typical sort of art. I’m not even sure if it’s art or not. But it was insistent. So. Here you go.
Flower Filigree
And here’s a variation for a Thank You card.

I was experimenting with drawing more with shapes and shading than lines. So, yes, I can draw this way, but I don’t like it. It turned out looking decent, but I miss my lines so much. I think I really need lines to make me happy with my work.
