I think I am going to park the boys on the dock for a bit. I'm moving on to something that has recently caught my attention. A neighbor of mine has a seventeen-year-old high school senior that is a very creative individual. He is artistic and very involved in the Theater program at his high school.
He recently wrote, directed and starred in a play at the school in which he plays a pirate captain. I photographed the play and thought I might get a portrait out of it.
Tonight I produced the following pencil sketch:
Sketch for "Captain Chris" Pencil 12" x 9"
Next will come a color study or straight to an oil portrait. Check back in to see what happens...

I wish I could paint and draw well enough to match some of the stuff you discard: wow, wonderful images, beautiful drawings and paintings! I cannot offer any constructive criticisms to your work, and if you don't mind, I'd like to create a link to your site from mine.
Sketches and Stuff
Hey Jim,
Thanks. I'm very flattered. By all means please add a link to me on your site. I'd appreciate it.
Thanks a lot,
Chuck
Sup Wally? Man, I'm glad you got the point. Trying to paint humbles me like nothing else. There is so much talent out there it can be a bit intimidating. I think the fear of failing and my hectic schedule combined make this truly a struggle to paint.
Thanks for yoour humble opinion. :-)
