Charcoal pencil

4.25"x6.5"

Took my students down to the river to paint and had a terrible allergic reaction. Had the worst skin rash in a decade but managed to power through another 2.5 hours of class. Did make this sketch and wrote a little poem about the experience of trying to draw and not scratch my arms off at the same time.

Charcoal pencil

Went on a Father's Day walk along the railroad tracks in East Hardwick. I had this spot in mind and have been thinking about making a print about this scene for some time now.

Watercolor

6"x9"

This painting is a lot more satisfying than the one I did the week before. If I keep at these i should be able to make up some ground from rusty mechanical things with my hands and the use of technique.
