Dock on the Potomac
Spent some time hiking and enjoying good company in Fort Washington, MD. I also achieved a gash on my leg, which I'm told, should have been stitched, but I held off the doctor visit until it had already started healing. The drawing was done after the fact, from memory, so it lacks the details I like. I think the...

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...
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...

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....

Headphones
I have owned two pairs of Bose headphones; this is the second pair. They are broken on the headband. Still usable and great sound, but a shame that there seems to be a flaw in the design that makes them break in exactly the same spot....
