Bat, After the Fall



“Bat, After the Fall”, Charcoal pastel on paper, 14” x 17”, 2009-07-11

I found a dead bat in my studio a while ago and I set it on a plate and left it to molder. The wings and legs came off the carcas when I last moved it so I did this drawing. It is still on it's plate in my studio.

Aquatic Hobby Horse

I jammed out another in my hobby horse series, this one based on a sea horse shaped hobby horse. The hobby horse itself is a solid royal blue and sits in a play area with other animal themed hobby horses. This one is located in Waite Park in Minneapolis.

Spring Art Party

Last weekend was the Spring Art Party located in Weber park Minneapolis MN. The day was perfect and a lot of people came out to the park. I only had time to do one drawing while there and I did a 6x9 greyhound.

Doggy Reverberations

Here is another drawing of a dog in which I focus on lines in and outside of the dogs silhouette. I chose a lavender base for the interior with green on the outside and yellow tying the whole together.

Blue Belly dog

Another little dog drawn while I waited. This last batch was all drawn at six by nine inches because this size scales exactly to four by six for postcards. I will be matting the originals to eleven by fourteen for display and sale at art festivals.
