Bulging Tree Trunk

A cypress growing near the sea.   They get so twisted from the sea breeze.   This one had a peculiar and unbelievable looking bulge  at its base.    The form was sculptural.

Gnarled Tree Trunk

A gnarly tree trunk.   I didn’t get to the other parts of the tree because the texture was so complex and beautiful.

Tree

A tree possibly an oak in my neighborhood in Pacifica , CA.   I was interested in the texture of the bark and the interrelationship of the branches.

Reuben 2005

This is a typical profile of Reuben.    I usually get a chance to draw him while he is using the computer.   What I like about this drawing is the simple lines.

I drew this picture of Eliana while she was watching a video at Pixelcorps in 2004.     Her brother was working on digital video editing at the time.    I hadn’t done this type of drawing in years but it came back pretty quickly.

My dad has sat for drawings and paintings many times over the years.   He is a great sport and the most patient sitter.   I’m pretty sure this was done in San Francisco around 2000.
