Here's another version of a previous sketch. Doing these daily sketches and paintings has been a good way for me to try out different things and experiment with my technique. I'm always trying to push myself to get better at what I do. Onward and hopefully upward.

Have  a great weekend.

Louis dreamed of becoming an Abraham Lincoln impersonator when he grew up. I'm pretty sure that's a pretty good career choice.

Have an Abe-tastic weekend. Don't do anything Abe wouldn't do.

Today's sketch painting was inspired by this weeks Illustration Friday topic MYSTERIOUS. 

Thanks for looking.

The Wolf had no idea that Red was a decendent of Medusa.

Happy Tuesday everyone. Today I'm going with a classic. I think on most days this is how I am. I just walk through life oblivious to what's happening around me. It's a happy sense of denial. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Okay, I lied. I couldn't stop. I hit a wall with my revisions and I had a weird need to paint Mary Poppins. What does it all mean? Should I seek immediate therapy?

It looks like today's sketch painting will be my last for a little while. I've got to go into writing mode and work out a story idea that's come into my noggin. I've also got some revisions to make on two picture book dummys. Have a great week.

Happy Friday!
