Sketches from the Loft. April 2011

Here is the latest sketching from the choir loft. Most everything was drawn over this last weekend. I was pretty far away from any television monitor to really see very well, but I gave it my best shot. Seems like it took me a while to warm up with sketching this go around. I'm not sure if I see much progress from last conference's sketches. The drawing kept me alert for the duration though. It was a wonderful and memorable conference; a great blessing to be able to participate.

Paintings on Masonite

Newly finished painting of the Bountiful Temple. 6"x4" acrylic on Masonite. These images show the painting in my studio just before putting on some of the finishing touches, hanging in the living room, and a closer look at some of the brush strokes. I learned a lot putting this thing together. It'll be nice to apply some of that learning in my next project.

A Feast of Floats

Hoping to begin a long lasting tradition this year after our Thanksgiving Day feast. The Float Feast will take place the day after Thanksgiving. Not to be confused with the Float Fest which is a similar celebration, but is not accompanied by a large meal.

Business Card Design

Business card I recently designed for a friend of mine. Actual card printed double sided digitally on 110# HP Pearl Ice Cover. The sparkle in this sheet brings out some nice color in this ink. I love when you hold this card up in the light you see the violin silhouette on the front of the card appearing neatly over the text.

Discovery

I had the opportunity to throw out some ideas for a real estate brokerage logo a few weeks back. While none of the concepts that I submitted where selected, I figured I'd develop and post the idea I liked best.
