Robert Young Daisies
Morning painting at the ranch, looking north towards Uncle Jim’s house. The daisies were out in force and the weather was perfect. I had a lot visitors which is rare while out in the field, my mom, aunt and cousin all stopped to say hello.

Clouds Over Ross
Across the street from my apartment, looking north towards Ross. I dropped this painting in the dirt just as I finished the under painting. Picking all the rocks out was rather annoying. It cleaned up ok but the extra work set me back and I lost my light. I had to get the second pass in from memory. Frustrating.

Phoenix Lake Redwoods
I hiked up to the lake to try and find some redwoods. My sister says I don’t paint redwoods enough. My usual excuse it that they are so big I can’t find a decent composition. The only way to paint redwoods site size is to be really far away. I went to the lake with the idea that I could use the water to put some distance between me and them. I’m glad I went, Its so satisfying to see the lake full again. Lots of water.

2021 Little Black Sketchbook
Here is another sketchbook. I guess this one documents season 2 of the great covid pandemic. Less drawings at home, more figure drawing and on location doodles, but still lots and lots of face masks. As an aside, I was reading A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway and Valley of the Moon by Jack London during this time and their influence is found throughout.
