#131 Second Three Customers

Here are another three customers sketched while they waited for coffee.  Graphite sketch/digital color. 

#130 First Three Customers

I was at a coffee spot yesterday and kept getting noticed while sketching barristas or seated customers.  Then I started to sketch customers waiting for their espresso drink, or to pay.  I had a few minutes to sketch each one before they moved out of view.  Sketched in graphite, with digital color.  There will be a few more of these...  And check out Elsbeth and Roger's sites for their sketches!

#129 Still Life, Painted

It's a mystery to me why this composition works. The showy red vase is in the very middle of a square, but I like it there.  It's definitely a rule broken. Acrylic paint on panel, 8"x8". 

#128 Still Life Mix

Kinda dark, but I'm still playing with composition. The Gleason salt shaker is in the middle, but I think it's OK there because it forms a cluster of things.

Below is the original charcoal sketch in black and white (on toned paper):

#127 PT Fog

A foggy day in Port Townsend.  As you can see, I'm currently intrigued by doing small sketches/drawings that are characterized more by composition and variety of marks, than color.  This is very different from when I paint.  Mixed media.

#126 Rain Forest

From the west end of the peninsula. Mixed media.

#125 Chocolate Chocolate Chip

Chocolate chocolate chip and cranberry cookies. Mixed media.
