White Rabbit

5" x 7" drawing pad, pencil sketch, colored pencil. Dec. 4, 2012.

Copied from a drawing in an old issue of Somerset Studio Magazine. The white rabbit for the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland.

Scoreboard

5" x 7" drawing pad, pencil sketch, colored pencil. Nov. 29, 2012.

The vintage shuffleboard scoreboard at the Tee Pee tavern. It is a very old, well maintained shuffleboard, that gets league play every Tuesday and Saturday, and tournament every Thursday night. They have always taken their shuffleboard very seriously, but have lots of FUN too! Cheering and jeering the other side, laughing and teasing.

Mr. Peanut and Chips

5" x 7" drawing pad, pencil sketch, colored pencil. Nov. 29, 2012.

A vintage plastic Mr. Peanut container, holds bags of peanuts for sale in the tavern, a rack of chips and jerky on the counter next to it.

Bar Glasses

5" x 7" drawing pad, mechanical pencil. Nov. 2012.

A quick sketch at the tavern of the stack of glasses, trying to get some transparency in the drawing.

Indian Maiden

5" x 7" drawing pad, mechanical pencil. Nov. 2012.

Drawn from a wooden carving at the Tee Pee Tavern, an Indian maiden in a smooth blonde wood. I did not get her centered on the page right, and cut off the top of her head, pretend it is an old photograph, where people were always cutting the tops of heads off.

White Whale

6" x 8" watercolor paper, acrylic paint, mono printed on gelatin plate, Schaefer ink pen. Dec. 1, 2012.

I saw the image in the random paint and highlighted it with an ink pen, doodling the corals and the little fishes.

Ocra, Grapes, Bananas & Cucumber

6" x8" watercolor paper, mono printed on gelatin plate, acrylic paints, Schaefer ink pen. Dec. 1, 2012.

Random paint blobs and swishes of acrylic paint, mono printed on a gelatin plate. I saw the image of grapes and bananas and in the randomness and highlighted them with an ink pen, adding leaves and lettering.
