A few new sketches from the last couple of weeks.....I can't wait for spring!!

Round Barn - Arcadia, OK

Dolese Concrete - Norman, OK

Oklahoma History Museum - OKC

Methodist Church, downtown, OKC

This is a tough time of year to sketch, it's either cold or raining. I did manage to find a little sunshine and relative warmth over the past week though.

Dolese Concrete Plant - Downtown OKC

Land O Lakes Manufacturing Plant - North Western - OKC

Fred Jones Manufacturing Building - Downtown OKC

Prayer Garden - Mount Saint Mary's - OKC

Santa Fe Train Depot - Downtown OKC

OK, so I took all week last week off from work. It was awesome. Just stayed at home and spent time with the fam. Despite the awful weather I did actually get to do a little sketching. I had to do most of it from inside my car, which I hate, it somehow seems separated still. Oh well.....the results are here.....

Stage Center - Downtown OKC

Oklahoma Cotton Oil Producers CoOp - OKC

Silo - Midwest City

Emerson Elementary School - Downtown OKC

Crown Heights Christian Church - North Western Avenue - OKC

Will Rogers Theater - North Western Avenue - OKC

Southwestern Bell Building - downtown OKC

This sketch is a little different. I was actually commissioned to do this sketch by my friend and colleague Blair Humphreys. His brother (Grant) and dad (Kirk) own and run their business out of the building in the lower left side of the sketch. He asked me to do a sketch of their building with their sign etc. and show some cool OKC downtown skyline in the background. So with a little artistic license on the positioning and angle of buildings this was the result. Happily Blair reported that Grant loved the sketch.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I decided to post the sketches I have done for our family and firm Christmas Cards for the past several years.

I went to campus for the last time this semester last week and did a few sketches.

So on the Urban Sketchers Flickr page, there is a theme week thread. Last weeks was power poles which was suggested by me.....so I did a few power pole sketches. Power poles/power lines have always fascinated me. I love their honesty in form and their linear regularity. Here is the link to the Urban Sketchers page.
