A mile stone that is approximately 2,000 years old directs us to Shepard’s Field.
I caught my cousin trying to take my picture, Shepard’s Field in the background.

Sketching in the Holy Lands
I’m trying to document my trip to the holy lands in my sketchbook. I brought 2 sketchbooks with me. I have a small one with 60 pages where I can write notes and do quick sketches on the go. My second book is a larger, 5.5” x 8.5”, extra heavy weight mixed medium pad. I’ve also been taking photos so I can use them as a reference for later. This sketch is called Herodian. The site is currently under excavation. Herodian is Herod‘s palace that he erected on top, and inside, inside a man made mountain. I sketched this from photo references.
Herodian, sketch book entry. 8.5” x 11”

Painting from a Live Model
I’ve started painting from live models on Thursdays. This week’s model looks beautifully exotic! She will be coming back next week for a second sitting, giving me the opportunity to finish it up. I don’t know if I’ll make the time to work on the painting at my home studio before then. I like where it is going.

Day 4 of 100 Day Project
I started this painting from a live model last Thursday. I ran out of time, so I worked on him at home over the last couple of days, referencing photos that I took. Today it is complete.

Watercolor of a Goose family
I took a photo in early summer when the goslings are seen in groups with their families. I completed this watercolor last week. I posted two photos of this painting. The first is the full painting. The second is cut down, changing the focus from the family to the young goslings. I haven’t decided on which way to frame it yet. I’m leaning towards the second, cut down version. Any thoughts? I also still need to come up with a name.
