A Meeting Doodle
Did this doodle during a staff meeting this week (I was paying attention I promise). No planning, just doodling. I'm always surprised at what appears as I doodle. I wonder what it means? I better take this to my next counseling session. :-)

Hiking in Cheyenne Canon
Sandee and I went on another hike today. This time we hit Cheyenne Canon and took the Columbine Trail. It was way too cold and windy to stay still and do a sketch on site, so I took a photo and make my sketch at home. I loaded the photo on to my laptop and then did my sketch as if I were standing on location.

Lincoln Memorial Drawing
This week I was able to visit the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. Wow. It's a very moving thing to be in that hall. The sculpture is stunning. Thanks to Bill and Debbie Bateman for taking me there. I took this picture with my iphone.
Of course, I had to do a sketch. It was a great way to relax after attending and speaking at a two-day teacher conference.
Inking the pencil sketch made the time on my flight from DC to Colorado go by quickly. It's a great thing to find a creative release through sketching. Have you found your creative release? I have a brother who uses golf to unstring the bow. One of my other brothers raises work horses as his hobby.

Anaheim Convention Center Sketch
I was able to do a sketch of the cool Anaheim Arena. Making this sketch was a good way to unstring the bow after two days at an ACSI teacher convention.
As usual I made a quick pencil sketch - I had to work fast because it was getting dark and chilly.
I applied ink to the drawing on my flight from Anaheim to Philadelphia. Thankfully, I got an upgrade to United First so I had lots of room to myself.
Almost finished on the flight.

Sketching Crowell Hall at Moody
This is the finished product. It was fun to be in Chicago on the campus of Moody Bible Institute for the day. I had to sneak outside and make a sketch of the front of Crowell Hall. I love the look at that entrance.
See my drawing process below.
I always start with a pencil sketch. I try to work as quickly as I can - getting as much detail as I can. It was cold in Chicago this day so I worked extra fast.

Main Street, Scottsdale, AZ
I was able to fit in a few moments to make an "unstring the bow" sketch in Arizona this week.
I'm not used to seeing palm trees. Wow. Those things are magnificent.
The weather wasn't bad either. It was in the 90s and its November!
It was great to meet old friends at Malee's Thai Bistro - man I LOVE Thai food.

Trying Watercolor Again
I'm trying watercolor again today. It's been a long time since I've tried it. More than anything I love this creative process - it's very refreshing. Everyone needs an outlet where they can express their God-given creativity - whether its watercolor painting, writing, running, playing the piano. It's a great way to relieve stress.
