Wandering

Here's a newer piece of a guy seeming to not have a care in the world as he wanders around in the swamp. This piece is loosely based on an old friend and some of my own treks into a nearby marsh. This is a water based paint on paper by Michael Quirk dated 2018.

It's been a while since I posted here. This is a recent sketch done on a magazine cover dated October 2015. Does anyone know which magazine? As always, click on the image to enlarge.

Wrecked Car Drawing

Who hasn't done this before? There's a body shop nearby that has a rotating exhibition of wrecked cars out front. This Saturn showed up a few months ago. You wonder about the people involved. I hope everybody's OK by now.

New Drawing- Those Who Qualify

This drawing is based on one of those annoying ad banners that I find with my email. The ad reads, "Financial Aid Available to Those Who Qualify". They're giving out money even if you look a little like a crazed hermit. Then why is it so hard to get a loan?

Milford Beach

Here's a drawing of the beach in Milford, half way between high and low tides. Since it wasn't too far from my house, I spent a lot of time swimming and hanging out there. This is was the view from Botsford Ave., looking east towards Silver Beach.

Another Drawing: My Backyard

This is a view of my old backyard in winter. It mostly shows my neighbor Sandor's chicken coop, smokehouse and garden. To the right beyond that fence is a little bit of my old friend Pete's backyard. There were a couple of big oaks and some nice woods out there until they built those houses. It doesn't look like much, but I had some great times there.

Snow in March

Took a walk in the woods before work yesterday. It snowed Friday night and I wanted to take some shots before it all melted. I figure there may not be much more snow coming my way with Spring on the way. As a subject, I like the high contrast of wet dark trees against a backdrop of white snow. It's almost as close as you can come to a pen and ink drawing in nature.
