Falling Down House

Oh btw, this scratchboard drawing of a very old house that is literally falling down was just awarded first place in drawing at the Peninsula Art Assoc. Spring show--thank you judges.
Since the constant battering of wind, rain, and moving, shifting sand (no soil here only sand) houses move and tilt and crumble a lot after some years. This house looked so sad to me when I started drawing it several months ago--as though it had been forgotten in time. After this past winter's horrible storms, it all but fell over. Here is how I picture it looking in its better days, with everybody around it enjoying a sunny day in Long Beach, WA.

Watercolor pulls at me now and again and this horse needed to be painted. He just got done with his bath and he's being led back to the hot walker. He is a working trotter and maybe his long torso and configuration give him away as a Tennessee Walker. Watercolor measures 11" X 14" on Arches cold press paper.

Rooster Bordello

Since the beginning of the new year, this rooster has been preening and preparing to look as gorgeous as he possibly can. He's fluffed his feathers, taken a tiny bath in the pond, eaten some blueberries in an attempt to make his blue feathers bluer. He's learned a few new tunes and tried them out on the rest of the world every morning. He's getting ready to head over to the red light district for a virtual romp in the hay. He's looking for love. Do you think he's headed in the right direction? click image to see enlargement
