Spirit Takes Flight

Continuing work on this piece.

I'm fond of this one. It has some real potential.
The other day I was exploring different possibilities for the egret. Possibly more than one? Who knows what will happen....

New daily sketches and studies

W.I.P. - Up For Air

The initial inspiration came when I caught a glimpse of one of the dolphins going up for air, and the way the light was shining was just too good. The idea has been sitting in the back of my mind for a while.
The other day, I ran across the initial sketch, and to my delight, i can recall the whole scene vividly.
The initial Block-in:

Acrylic on canvas board, 11x14"

Digital Art!

A quick foray into digital illustration:

Listening to jazz at a local coffee shop on a Friday night. Very nice.
