Landscape with Sea


A view eastwards from our friends' garden in Corsica, with the Mediterranean Sea in the background.
No, the little dots aren't moskitos ... it's just that towards the horizon, the sky was getting a bit darker (maybe I haven't chosen the best solution to show that).

Indian ink, 24 x 16 cm

Free drawing #10


This drawing shows the photograph Petra Klusmeyer has taken of the drawing I made of the photograph taken by Christian Öhlerich of my drawing Crossroad with Clock.

Knowing that I wouldn't have much more spare time than my noon break at work, I took the framed picture with me this morning, and in my break placed it on a rock nearby my office to do the drawing.

I found an arm today


I found this arm on a parking lot today and picked it up – this might be something for Duane Keiser's new blog, maybe I'm going to send it to him.

Thank you

Some of you might be interested in this picture: This is how I've framed the different photographs I received by now from those of you who participate in my free drawings project.
In my previous posts you have already seen the drawings I made of each one. From left to right: Ed Lisieski, Craig Stephens, Chuck Law, Christian Öhlerich, Elaine Bond.
The list is growing slowly ... but steadily.

I found an "a" today


Here is landscape #8.

When I left this place to return to my job, I found a real little "a" on the way.
Before I picked it up to take it home, I took a picture of it in its natural place.
This is really funny because last year I found a "z" on the street.


Extrapolations might show that I can expect finding the complete alphabet by the age of 63.

Sunday Night


This is not a drawing obviously.
Oh by the way, I've cut the upper left corner of this house, but you can see it in the lower right corner of the drawing January Evening Sky...

Free drawing #9


This drawing shows the photograph Christian Öhlerich has taken of my drawing "Crossroad with Clock".
While Christian placed the drawing in front of a flowerpot to take the photograph, I placed the photo in front of a bouquet to do the drawing...
Thanks again Christian!

Awaiting the Rain

This is somewhere along the D604 in Sophia. No no, I wasn't "waiting" for rain, but this time it was the rain who forced me to stop the drawing, so... I take the occasion to continue the "Awaiting" titles...

Pencil and ball pen, ca. 15 x 21 cm / 6 x 8¼ in.
