Continued study of wrinkles

In my last post, which was a hundred years ago, I spoke of wrinkles, and how many I am getting...
My time to doodle has been vastly diminished since August, but over the past few Saturdays, taking a few minutes here and there, I have continued to play around with wrinkles, and in a medium that I haven't used for a long time...the trusty graphite pencil.

There is a lot in the expression. Part of it is fear, part surprise, and a twinge of anger maybe. The eyes tell the most...

post birthday tinkering

Another birthday has come and passed....have you ever got the feelings that your wrinkles are coming faster than the birthdays?
I wanted to play with contrast this morning, so I pulled out the gouache and found a great portrait off of flickr, and started to play. This is the result.

Another moly 24 contribution

I did a little painting in our moly 24 group on a moleskine that I received in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Sorry about the poor quality photographs. The computer that I have my scanner attached to is in the shop getting a new power supply.......

more HALLOWEEN eggs...

The egg painting continues. Hopefully I'll have enough time before the 31st to do a few more, at least enough to fill a half-dozen container.

It's ALIVE...ALIVE!

This morning I woke up with Halloween on my mind....that, plus a hankerin' to paint. So, as any other LOGICAL person would conclude, I decided it was TIME TO DO HALLOWEEN EGGS! This was the result...brahhhaahaahahaaa!!

I will say that my wife was pretty disappointed when I went to the fridge, got out the eggs, and it WASN'T because I was making breakfast!!
I can't wait until next Spring to do Easter Jack-o-Lanterns.

returning to youth, yet again.....

I've been journaling and remembering with a brush odd things here and there from my youth. This is what came out the last couple of days.

Journaling...again

After a brutal day at work, I found myself longing just to doodle aimlessly. So when I got home, I rummaged through some old photos and journaled a train of thought that ended up somewhere I wasn't expecting, but had fun anyway. My favorite was going back to a journal from when I was 4 and copying a picture that I drew when just a youngster. I liked the way that it's innocence contrasted with the other images.
I enjoyed it, the journey was fun....
