Pioneer Days watercolour painting – Mose Paine playin’ for the natives!

by on Oct.25, 2024, under Illusration

Pioneer Days watercolour painting – Mose Paine Playin’ for the Natives!
This is of Mose Paine who played music around Pine castle, in south Orange County up into Orlando, in the late 1800s. We was the Taylor Swift of Central Florida back then.

Did this for the silent auction event for Pioneer Days, which I’ve been involved with most of 35 years.

11″ x 14″ painting on Crescent board.

Tomorrow: You’ll howl at this Happy holiday!

#InkTober #17 -Part 2- Observation

by on Oct.21, 2024, under Illusration

After the color marker check, i started with trying out a red marker and then switched to a working black marker and scrawled egret and squirrel. Thus InkTober #17-Part 2.
In this case, I don’t believe, the chat area influenced much this drawing.

Inked with a STA brush pen live, with no plan. Mae up as I drew.

#InkTober #10 – Buffalo Football !

by on Oct.13, 2024, under Cartooning, Illusration

October 10th’s InkTober #10 recorded over on YouTube had a visitor from northern New York. I asked her about Rochester. She said it was nearby. That got me talking about the great Dave “Bippy” Boyer, caricaturist, Rochester Good Will Ambassador and all around good egg. Thus, I started scrawling Bippy.

That led to mention of the Buffalo Bills and my drawing Bippy as a skilled football player.
This led me to mentioning another friend and good egg, Jennifer Huber, avid Buffalo Bills fan. That had me adding her dog, Radcliffe, and cats into the game. Jennifer to the side, cheering.

Chat turned to viking helmets and Bippy gets assistance of a lad donned with viking chapeau.

The live drawing of this and others from October 10th can be sen here:

#InkTober #7 – Florida Panther Stroll

by on Oct.08, 2024, under Illusration

#InkTober #7 – Florida Panther Stroll.

This is a drawing I started at an event for politician Thad Altman. I promised to get it done and did during the meeting tonight involving the candles.
I’d initially started with thick brush pens illustrating the panthers. Tonight all else was added with a thin Sipa brush pen.

No pencils. Made up as I inked. 17″x 14″ sketch paper.
