Another Stylized Tree Medallion

I keep coming back to images like this one. A stylized tree inside a circular design. I haven’t posted much art lately. Not because I haven’t been making art. It’s that a lot of it was unsatisfactory (bad). Then I got out of the habit even after I was making art that I did like.… Continue reading Another Stylized Tree Medallion

Dirigibles In Alaska

I’ve always liked the idea of dirigibles but they have never been successful as ordinary freight carriers. They simply can’t carry enough to justify their cost. The only time they were commercially successful was in the twenties and thirties when they were the equivelent of the Concorde, the fastest and most expensive way to cross… Continue reading Dirigibles In Alaska

Solar Wheel

Just a quick sketch playing with colors and trying for “looseness”. Overall I like it but I’m always nervous about intense colors. I’m never sure how they will be seen by others. But then I remind myself of all the hideous color schemes I’ve seen in art museums. About three inches in diameter on Winsor… Continue reading Solar Wheel
