The Upper Estuary Near Porthmadog, Wales

My new pastel on 12 by 18 inches Wallis sanded paper using Pan Pastels with a bit of Unison, Henri Roche and Derwent Pastel pencils. This was drawn from a photograph I took from a window of the narrow gauge train that runs from Porthmadog on the coast to the slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Julia - a new Portrait

I finished this portrait of my Grandniece on July 3rd. It's pastels on sanded 9 by 12 inch Colorfix paper. This was drawn from a photo taken when Julia was about 16 months old.

The World Trade Center

This photo of the new World Trade Center was taken from the Pulaski Bridge in Queens. I took the photo on June 23, 2012. It already dominates the New York skyline.

Motorcycle As Art

I saw this in a gallery in Key West, Florida, many years ago. I don't ride motorcycles myself and I'm not too fond of the noise they make. One could honestly say I'm not a fan but, even I knew, this one is special.

Sidney

Sidney is a Jack Russell who lives in Pennsylvania. Her humans are cousins of mine. I don't believe it's necessary to mention who runs the house. These are recent pictures of her in her garden.

Sidney would like to remind everyone that they should always stop and smell the flowers.
