They are all right. They are all wrong.

I Found One!

Yes, I know all the Easter Egg hunts are over but I finally got around to doing this painting I had wanted to do several months ago. Part of the delay was deciding how to do it. I first envisioned this as a pencil drawing. I even thought of drawing everything with graphite except for the targeted egg which would be in color. I used that technique in the drawing, “Popsicles” (http://sircolby.com/drawings/popsicles/). As you can see, I chose to go with full color using acrylic paints on canvas.

Yawn!
Not much to say about this. It’s just a pen and ink sketch of a crocodile.

Grandkid was having a race car theme for his birthday bash so I quickly came up with a computer sketch to help with the celebration.

Mammaw’s Birth House

One of several coincidences involving my wife and I is the strange fact that MY father and HER mother were both born in the little town of Madill, Oklahoma. What are the odds? This is a drawing from a photograph taken many years ago of what remained of the house where my mother-in-law was born.

My Dad’s birth house is long gone. In a letter, his brother described the house this way: “He was born northeast of Madill in an old box house, one that had no studding in the wall, only 1×12 boxing planks with 1 inch laths nailed over the cracks. Heavy paper tacked on the inside. The ceiling of the kitchen was not sealed.”
