Picture this

As someone famous said, “While drawing I discover what I really want to say.” I’ve tried in my own way to speak about beauty and character through sketches and paintings, many of them of places I have visited or longed to see, people I have revered or loved or simply images I have found striking. Here are some examples. If you like what you see, I could even draw a portrait for you, maybe of a pet or loved one, something that might capture a moment you cherish. Take a look.
