Strange Fish

These are a few of the fish I came up with poking fun at some of their patterns and names. This could turn out to be an endless project.

Lettering Fish


Shrimp Matis Creature


Stegosaurus Fish


Gold Fish


Clown Fish


Zebra Fish


Spotted Fish






The Challenge of Snow

I have never tried to draw or paint snow in an illustration. I had to take this one really slow and have a good mental picture before executing. I looked up several artists work to see how they tackled snow and watercolor. For the most part it was almost a black and white illustration before a few areas of actual color appeared. Now off to the beach.

Sketchbook Update...Blah, Blah, Blah

Bough a new sketchbook and thought I'd watch a movie while drawing. The movie was a dud as it transferred to the drawing. Must be a subconscious thing.


Personal Work

My obsession with weird fish continues. This one is very strange.

Siesta Key Drum Circle

This was a long one. I came home each day and worked and worked and work. Well the fan worked more than I did to dry the watercolors. So I worked then watched. That has to count for something. This is the popular local communities drum circle. The three characters are the larger than life mainstays each Sunday on the beach. They draw many people each week to enjoy music and a sunset.
