My creative efforts late summer to fall: Woodworking, building a new easel

I started with plans designed by Bob Perrish (www.artisteaselplans.com), but made some changes, particularly to the panel holder. I also changed the design from counterbalanced-with-weight, to raising and lowering with a remote controlled actuator. This was my first large woodworking project.  There may be more.  It was great fun.

A companion piece to a previously finished drawing

Two dear pups that have passed on.  The drawings were completed some time apart, but I designed the second one to mirror the first one, so they can hang companionably together, just as they were companions in life.  12x9, graphite on Fabiano hot press water color paper mounted on aluminum panel.  #Raymar

Garden sketch

 

Since I last posted, I’ve finished some commissioned work, including the largest painting I’ve ever done. After the commissions, I needed some time to experiment with new ideas. Of course, daily sketching is a constant. Here is a sketch of cosmos from my garden.
