Sitting on my friend's porch, I kept trying to capture the boats I was seeing, even though they kept shifting (or sailing) about. I'm getting a little quicker. Trying to work on shading based on what I see.
Still on Chebeague Island. My friend's place is right next to the marina. This is the dock. It's not quite right but I did my best. It is somewhat of an architectural marvel - wood and rocks seem somewhat jumbled but it seems to be steady as the Rock of Gibralter.
I was visiting a friend on Chebeague Island over the weekend and this is what I saw every morning. In fact every time I looked, night or day, that as pretty much the scene except with different lighting. This a.m. at 420 - there was a pink and purple sunrise. Last night - a full moon. Today full sunshine. Friday, foggy.
Drawing the boats was quite a challenge - they kept moving.....
In May I started taking a cartooning class at AC Moore taught by Sam Hill. Our first homework assignment was to draw eyeballs. Above is one of the 5 or so pages of eyeballs I drew. In the 2nd class he had us draw heads and eyes. Then expressions with no heads. Then we went on to heads tilted every which way. Cartooning is pretty fun.

Since graduating from college I've kept track of all the books I've read. The ink on the earlier entries is starting to fade so I was glad to find a place to make it electronic. Library Thing saved me a lot of typing and I can download the list any time to my own computer for sorting and whatnot.
