spring has sprung

the weather is now gradually showing signs of spring...i can't wait

that 70s show

these have been in the antique shop for at least 6 months now and i've always talked myself out of buying them...but for $6 for a set of 10 (there are 2 of each fruit) i couldn't say no any longer! i can't wait to use them!!!! so cheerful, the lemon is my favorite. i admit this is a bad picture, they are actually really bright, happy colors.

sans scanner

i don't know how to work the scanner here (it's got a temper) so these will have to suffice as my efforts for the last few days. photo sketches, i'll call them.

i love lamp

simple, clean, but also a little rough around the edges. stumbled upon this at mi-workshop
















also sweet.






















i'll take one of these, too.

a visit to the library and a distraction

standing in a narrow alley looking up, detail of various connections, sketches demonstrating layers of neighborhood, and random 2 minute exercise with newspaper clippings piled on my desk.

a different sketchbook

random doodles





















beatrix potter inspired studies










bored in geology









sometimes lectures are quite dull






studio critiques can be, too

landscapes class

this is meant to show my impression of the path between 2 lines of trees taking on a vertical quality due to perspective and the verticality of the trees.
















these are a series giving my impression of important elements of site at the Acropolis, from figure-ground to view studies.














sketches of a colonnade to echo the lines of the wood line nearby














more of the same.




















impressions of falling water





















sections drawn from experiencing a procession through a space














phinda getty house--framing the landscape










varying colors in a distant treeline.

coming soon...

i hope to use this blog to post things from my sketchbook and get feedback or suggestions for other ways to capture what i am after. i will have things up soon, but don't expect this to be a regular posting because i don't have the time to commit to that!
