Color Chart*
Faber-Castell Brush Pens
I needed to reorder some brush pens the other day, and missed getting one of my most used greens. On-line color charts are a nice idea, but unless they’re pictures of actual color swatches, aren’t very accurate. The one I missed looked like a light yellow, and silly me didn’t bother reading […]
Orchard Barn
Sketchbook, Ink
This old barn lives on an apple orchard in Oregon. I wouldn’t mind living on an apple orchard in Oregon, either. It would be a great place to grow honeybees, and I’d have enough apples for pie, fritters, and apple butter for the rest of my life.
Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if McDonald’s […]
Carolina Charm
Sketchbook, Ink
This little barn is somewhere in the Carolinas. Probably an old tobacco barn, it now sits in the middle of a Christmas tree farm. Now you know what Santa does with his days off, and where he keeps his stash of toys!
I have a weekend update for you, but it’s not from the […]
Sweet Georgia Barn
Sketchbook, Ink
Today’s barn is from the great state of Georgia. It’s a big, brown horse barn, but I like to think this little farm might grow peaches n’ cream… or chocolate milk.

Dairy Barn
Sketchbook, Ink
Today we have a big, white barn. Big white barns are usually found on dairy farms, and I wonder, is that because casein comes from milk? Cheese, yogurt, butter and ice cream are also made from milk products, but we don’t use them to paint barns.
Actually, barns are disappearing from the landscape at […]
Old Barn No.5
Sketchbook, Ink
Old barn number five. Sounds like the perfect name for a cheap perfume, doesn’t it? I suppose it’s better than old barn number two. That was a crappy name, and gee whiz, it’s much too late to call it old barn number one.
Speaking of whiz, take a look at the nifty gizmo […]
Out Standing in it’s Field
Sketchbook, Ink
Here, we have another outstanding old barn from the sketchbook. An old barn out standing in it’s field. Har, har, har. I wonder if those are amber waves of grain, or sheaves of pigment black?
On a side note, if you didn’t find today’s post the least bit amusing, you probably […]
Hay There
Sketchbook, Ink
Hey there, there’s hay in the loft! Not terribly thrilled with this one, and next time, I’ll leave out the chickens.

Abandoned Barn
Sketchbook, Ink
While I was uploading this drawing, it occurred to me that I’m running out of ideas for naming pictures of old barns. Old barn #2 doesn’t do much for me, and since they’re just drawings in a sketchbook, I wonder if I need to be naming them at all.
I see shelves!
In spite […]
Pencil Jar
Sketchbook, Colored Inks
There’s something magical about viewing a work of art from a darkened room. The outside environment seemingly disappears leaving only you, and the artwork. For the fine art patron, it’s an enchanting experience. For the fine art curator, it’s about keeping the artwork in the best condition possible.
The conservation of fine art […]
