Here are some drawings from a couple of events!

Was in JPnte Vedra, near Jacksonville, drawing golf enthusiasts at the Players Club at Sawgrass Country Club. GREAT crowd! They each had so much to say about themselves and I got to really work out my creative juices in the storytelling of most of the drawings. Here are some photos!

Had two hours to render these during a public forum on water issues here in Florida. Got all done but had to finished watercoloring one and a half at the end. All are 11″ x 14″. The big one below was fun as Professor bob Knight with the University of Florida brought attention to the days when Silver Springs had Tarzan of the movies was swinging around. I added another movie star in the picture that also was filmed in Silver Springs, The Creature of the Black Lagoon peeking through the water.

If you are from the area you might recognize a few of these folks like Barbara Fitos and Guy Marwick. The issue at hand involves 32,000 acres to be famred and demanding a huge draw down of our water supply while we struggle with a drought. I’m a big fan of farms, but this is most dangerous due to also including tens of thousands of cows on the land along the Silver River, which has already been severly damaged by development in the area. the big question: How much does this all hit taxpayers? A lot, it seems, for cleanup and potential dry wells for thousands of homes in the area.

Here are some photos of folks I drew on the 25th!

Drew lots of caricatures tonight!

Drew at two events today. One for Hospice of Marion County and the other for a private event in Maitland.

Here are a few caricatures from Saturday night.

Here’s caricature I drew and painted Saturday afternoon and a few steps of getting to the finished artwork and the subject thus drawn!

Did the caricature thing in Daytona Beach and Tampa Friday and Saturday!

Here are the steps I took to paint this double caricature. Above are the pencils.

Then I tighten the pencils with a pen. Now to add watercolor.

Here is the final artwork with watercolor and then an outline I added at the end.

Above is the mysterious Marie who asked me to create the caricature she’s holding. I did the whole thing at Bubbalou’s Bar-B-Que in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Look for a post about it on Swampy’s Florida next week. The restaurant was a great meeting place to get the artwork done and for good food.

  Here I am in the midst of getting the caricature done.
