Half way there

2011-10-04T03:12:00.001-07:00

Just a quick update on the latest drawing. About half way there. If you noticed, I started with the eyes and nose and lips first. But the main thing that I always want to get right. Is the eyes.

fine and dandy

I used matte board, hb, 2b, 6b, and 8b pencils. I thought that it would be fun to take on an interesting perspective.

Latest Sketches

2011-09-15T17:23:00.001-07:00

I have had the opportunity to do some more drawing. I love to draw. Why do I love to draw? I have some ideas, but I just can not get away from it. If anyone knows why they like to draw or why I love it. I found a new pencil. It is a 9xxxxb. I never heard of it before. It is extremely dark. It is soft, but almost charcoal like without the mess. I liked it. It does not blend easily. It worked out nicely.

Latest Song For Acapella playtime

2011-08-04T15:28:00.000-07:00

I can still remember one of my favorite movies when I was a kid: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I loved it because I am a dreamer at heart, and I love the idea of a candy world. I have always been enchanted by the original music in the movie. My favorite song would have to be Pure Imagination. I decided to record it last night with my new MXL 990 microphone. I liked the results! I wanted to make this song with the closest dreamiest chords I could make without over powering the simple melody. Enjoy the sample!

Here are some Photos that I took while on a trip with the Quartet. We went to PA and NY. The pics with water behind are of Lake Erie. I am finding that I love Photography!

A weekend in WI

2011-06-20T22:55:00.001-07:00

I had a great trip to WI! My sister in law Brooke had a wedding this past weekend, and I was able to take some photos of all the fun that we had. The pictures tell most of the story. We went to bay beach with the Bridal party. It was an almost perfect day for pictures. I had fun with the new camera. The wedding went great! I wish that I could have put some moments in slow motion to soak it all in. Ah well. Such is life. Ever flowing.

Breaking the rules

2011-05-24T13:04:00.001-07:00

I was able to travel this past weekend with the quartet to Alabama. We had a generator problem the would show up from time to time. When the generator stops so does the air and power for the electricity. Aside from a few issues with that, we were still able to sing on Sunday. While I was driving the bus ,later on that night I noticed the red emergancy light indicator on and pulled over to the nearest gas station. There was a leak in the in the air line somewhere. So Terry did his nest to locate the leak, but we could not locate it. We stayed the rest of that night and most the morning there. It was a long night. The bus is home safe now. Terry found a way to reconstruct the hose. While waiting that morning, I felt the urge to sketch. So I drew a picture of Elise. It was with her pen and paper. Thus I broke a rule. DO NOT ever draw on something you do not inted keep well like lined notebook paper. Oh well. I guess I will just say that it was artsy.
