Saturday. November 21, 2009. Venice, Italy. We have some good memories of this unique city, and I wish I had been into city sketching a few years ago when we first went there, as we found such incredible sights around every corner. Although Milan is only about 3 hours from our house, Venice is quite a bit farther. Here's a little view of the city in my cartoonish style.

Thursday. November 19, 2009. Müllheim, Germany. This is another little scene in the town where my wife is currently in the hospital this week. I sketched it out on site, near a creek, then came home and finished it up. Müllheim is located in a vineyard region near the Black Forest, on the site of an ancient Roman villa.

Tuesday. November 17, 2009. This is a plein air sketch in Müllheim, Germany. The fall colors are beginning to fade as winter slowly creeps in.

Monday. November 16, 2009. Apartment complex in Mulhouse, France.

Saturday. November 14, 2009. The Ritter Hotel in Heidelberg, Germany.

Wednesday. November 11, 2009. And yet another sketch of San Francisco.

Saturday. November 7, 2009. This is a section of the Stadttheater in Freiburg im Breisgau. The Phantom of the Opera poster is a completely fictional addition of my own.

Wednesday. November 5, 2009. Nevertheless, another San Francisco sketch.

Tuesday. November 3, 2009. A little scene from San Francisco.

Saturday. October 31, 2009. Time to slow down and enjoy the fall season- take time to observe life in all its richness. I plan on drawing less and posting less now, although sketching has now become an important part of my life that I realize I should continue developing and enjoying.
