Look Out Bath Lake Swimmers!

My neighbor parks his dually facing our street on a steep hillside. I pray the emergency brake holds as the swimming hole is just across the narrow road. I guess this is normal every day for San Francisco.

Grandma's  Cabin 

A watercolor, ink, and pastel done for a friend, Linda Morefield.  Linda owns the subject rental named "Grandma's Cabin". One of the older structures in Medicine Park. It is beautiful.

Porky's Pizza & Medicine Park Town Hall

Porky's is a new Pizza Restaurant recently opened in Medicine Park. Both sketches were drawn using ink, watercolor and pastel.

The Feathered Nest

One of the many rentals available in Medicine Park. This one overlooks Medicine Creek and across the creek, the main section of downtown. It was restored from the ruins of an old home as were four others in this stretch along West Lake Drive.

After the Inferno, two remain

This is a watercolor I did as a tribute to the resiliency of the trees one year after the Medicine Park fire. There are a few that survived almost intact but the majority were badly burned but are, one year later, sprouting growth from their base.

Madrid, New Mexico

This painting is of the old mining company houses erected for the Great Mining Boom of New Mexico in 1850. These relics are part of the ghost town which lies to the East of Albuquerque. Today some of the old structures have been remodeled and converted into shops.The painting was done on watercolor 140# paper with a Hero pen, Noodlers black ink, and watercolors. 

Across the Creek

A sketch looking across Medicine Creek toward the ice cream store in downtown Medicine Park. The creek at this point crosses over several areas of rock causing some small rapids as it moves to the south. Great ice cream by the way!!

Davis Walkbridge

An early morning ink sketch of the Medicine Park walkbridge.

Old Medicine Park Jail

A drizzly morning in Medicine Park (very rare) and a good time to sketch the old city jail building recenty converted to the Hippiechicks & Cowgirls Boutique.

Where's the House Going???

Just down the street from my house I saw these three men atop the retaining wall probably wondering where the new proposed house will be constructed. It should be interesting. When completed, I will sketch the structure.

This was sketched with a Kaimei brush pen with added pastels.
