Lotsa stuff around the house this month…
Pink Studies
Went downtown SF this evening to do a little drawing of a live model — plus a few unsuspecting artists, too.
Browning Around
Mixed some paint and made a few dozen samples, trying to find the best ways to create hues of brown. Once the samples dried, I saw faces in each swatch, each with its own personality.
One to Watch: Jenny Kroik
Stumbled upon Jenny Kroik’s work online and fell in love with the color, humor, and humanity in her urban portraits and countryside still lifes. Maybe if I sketch the artist herself, I can catch a bit of her spirit and mix it with my paint.
Tool Kit
Orange Studies
Stayed home tonight to sketch some drawings based on photos from Montevideo. Drew rapidamente in ink sin lapiz. Scared each time I started one, afraid I couldn’t do it. Did it anyway. Never quite what I expected, but always surprising in their own unique way.
More Like Fathers Day :-)
Spent some time with my son up at the park in Diamond Heights, both of us with pencils and paper.
Not Quite Fathers Day :-(
My son’s coming home from Yosemite with his mom. I got a thick rib-eye to grill in the new copper pan with some onions and broccoli. Tonight, gonna have a big, old-fashioned, red-meat meal with my boy.
Self-Portrait Sans Flag
Sidewalk Studies #5
Back in the Bay for the past week — drawing before picking up my son from camp, before a meeting at work, during a midway pause of a long walk through town. (Click on images for a larger view.)

Figure with Sand and Sun
Now home in San Francisco, stopped by Ocean Beach before fetching my son from camp. Saw this woman relaxing on the strand, drew her sin ropa.

Montevideo, Uruguay
Moleskine: Uruguay ’17
Just returned from a couple semanas in Montevideo, where I had a fabuloso time and managed to squeeze in a little sketching each dia. Here are some images that caught my ojo.
