Instigating play time.

 Oil 6x8

This quick painting shows my Border Collie "Riley"  trying to move the horses by nipping at their nose, usually he gets his way. The horses don't  like him much.  In this picture a yearling is trying to strike at him, Riley is so quick they can never get him. In the end they all get some exercise so thats a good thing.

Life sketches

This summer I set up to do caricatures in downtown Hayward, next to Anglers restaurant. When I'm slow its a good opportunity to draw people from life. 

You know you are really absorbed into  life drawing when you are disappointed when a customer interrupts you to have their caricature drawn.

Caicatures-Summer 2012

Caricatures kept me busy all summer,  mostly working in Hayward WI but still drawing at a few parties and company picnics. One of the caricatures is a group of four brothers who don't look much alike but they all shared a great sense of humor, they were fun to draw!
