Apple Sketch

Music = Nine Inch Nails/6 Ghosts (excerpt)

Time-lapse of a sketch of some apples.  I did this one mostly to work out the details of shooting a time-lapse, but I like the way it turned out.

Here’s a shot of the final drawing:

Balsam-Cap-Storm on Flickr.Via Flickr:
(conte crayon on paper) I did this sketch about 2 years ago after attempting a very challenging bushwack up Friday and Balsam Cap mountains in the Catskills, NY.  It was snowing pretty hard and it was a slow trudge through deep snow.  We didn’t make it to the top but it inspired me to knock off this quick sketch

I haven’t had much time to do any work this past week since we were on vacation.  So instead I decided to post this beautiful photo of a cormorant that my wife took.  I hope you like it!

Specter of the Brocken on Flickr.(14” x 17”; Pen and ink) This drawing was inspired by a passage I read from “Memories, Dreams, Reflections” by Carl Jung:  “About this time I had a dream which both frightened and encouraged me. It was night in some unknown place, and I was making slow and painful headway against a mighty wind.  Dense fog was flying along everywhere.  I had my hands cupped around a tiny light which threatened to go out at any moment. Everything depended on my keeping this little light alive.  Suddenly I had the feeling that something was coming up behind me.  I looked back, and saw a gigantic black figure following me. But at the same moment I was conscious, in spite of my terror, the I must keep my little light going through night and wind, regardless of all dangers.  When I awoke I realized at once that the figure was a “specter of the Brocken,” my own shadow on the swirling mists, brought into being by the little light I was carrying.  I knew, too, that this little light was my consciousness, the only light I have.  My own understanding is the sole treasure I possess, and the greatest.  Though infinitely small and fragile in comparison with the powers of darkness, it is still a light, my only light.”

Ice 1 on Flickr.I took this while exploring a little stream near Sundown, NY.  It was an extremely cold day for the area.  I love the elegant patterns that the ice formed as it was freezing.
