A visual journey through life. “The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook.” ~ Robert Henri

Fast Away the Old Year Passes......
....fa la la la la, la la la la
Hail the New Year lads and Lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!!
New Years Eve on the marsh, grey and cold with a snowy wintery mix coming down at times. You might wonder why I conside these sketches since they're not drawn with a pen or pencil. Well, the truth is that I begin these with light pen or pencil drawings and wash the watercolor over that, and I don't spend very long on them, just jotting down my initial impressions. All three of these were completed in a little over an hour. So, in my mind they qualify as sketches. And since they are sketches I might use them in the future for larger more finished studio works. Good- bye 2005!!
