I'm very excited to have recently moved to beautiful Castaic Lake at the northeast end of the LA basin. I hope to have stacks of sketches as the months go by. Here's the first.

One day in Provo Canyon, Utah, 2003.

I set a goal to fill this little notebook in one day, hence the smaller than usual sketches. Didn't quite reach the goal but I did come up with these 12 scenes.

We have plenty of flowers blooming around the office grounds. They make for a good opportunity to splash some watercolors around at lunchtime.

Redwood Shores Marina.

.

My time at Pdi Dreamworks in Redwood city is rapidly coming to a close, so I'd like to spend the next couple weeks posting lunchtime and evening sketches from around the studio grounds. We're adjacent to a bay marina which is where this one was done. It was the first I did here and I have to say, having come from the everpresent LA sun, I enjoyed the overcast.

My Sister used to live in San Louis Obisbo on the central coast of California. She could drive to LA to visit me in about 3 1/2 hours but for some reason it always took me over 4 hrs to drive up and visit her. The reason of course is sketches like this. You can't make that drive without pulling over to paint those scenic seaside vistas.

.

Here's another one. This is a beautiful spot on the big island; below the falls is a lava tube cave you can hike through. I didn't have a flashlight and came out with a bruised forehead.

A quick sketch from a trip to Hawaii.

Another sketch from the national parks of Utah. I did this one sitting in my car pulled over onto the shoulder of the road. The highway patrolman who stopped to see what I was up to didn't seem to like it.

This is in Zion National Park, Utah. Though springtime, it was cold! A good motivator to be quick and keep it simple.

More sketches of Cambodia. The ruins in this country are extraordinary. And in contrast to a few decades ago, it's become highly tourist friendly. Just watch out for mosquitoes.
