What's on the Easel, and My Desk?

What's on my easel and desk, this week?

On my desk is a drawing I started this weekend, and worked on quite a bit today.

I also worked a little on this painting,

and the one below too.

This painting is actually 24" x 48", but when I take a picture of the entire painting, the photo distorts quite a bit (as the easel is tilted slightly). So this is only the center part of the painting.

Last, here's a much better photo, showing the colors much more accurately, of the drawing I finished last week.

"Firebird"

Thank you for checking my blog!

Yes, I've been working.

Along with trying to figure out how I might put my illustrated stories on the web, I've been sketching this week.

3 of the sketches (Bic pen on paper).

I took the one on the far right made a large copy, and used varnish to attach it to a board. Right now it is sitting on our dining room table, drying. Once it is dry, I'll start adding layers of paint.

and, since I'm going to be painting, I'll work on adding layers to some other paintings I'm working on.
