Grain Elevators
Once a fixture of every small town in the Canadian prairie, these classic buildings have been disappearing with the advent of cheap and convenient transportation options. Seeing these buildings reminds me of a place that is now far away in both distance and time.
My Window With Plants
I'm very fortunate at my job to be sitting right next to a window that looks out onto a small courtyard. The window is situated just right so that it gets a good amount of sunlight early in the morning and in the late afternoon; good enough to successfully grow and keep plants alive apparently. There's even the beginnings of a small herb garden in the back.

Happy Birthday Lauren
A quick card for a coworker's daughters sixth birthday. I was told later that Lauren carried the card in her hands all evening and was amazed that it had her name on it. When I make a card from someone I always write that it was handmade specifically for them and I hope that as Lauren gets older that the card will take on more significance.

Sometimes the Sky
Simply an ink wash over a sketchbook page. The Hand-made sketchbook pages are generally thick enough to handle water without buckling, but in this case I must have used a lot of water. Oh well, I love the effect of ink thinned out into a wash and it's too bad the paper couldn't handle it.
