Cedartown High Weight Room
Nick Chubb wrote one of the most touching things I have read in a long, long time. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/nick-chubb-nfl-football-cleveland-browns In tribute to his statements, I made this. Use it for whatever you want, modify it however you want. As long as you don’t sell the stuff you use it for. If you are going to sell…

Not Watercolor
It seems as though my motivation to paint lately is non existent. Or rather, I have a desire to paint, but I can’t think of what I should paint. You’d think this would be a great time to practice some drills, or experiment with new things I’ve never tried, maybe try abstracts, or *gasp* oils……

Stippled Tree: #1
Today, instead of painting, I sat down and tapped dots on a piece of paper for five hours. I started by wondering if I reduced a cloud to spheres, and then shaded them if it would help me to paint them better. But then I got carried away with the stippling, and five hours later,…

Close Enough
Today, I got the bathroom close enough to finished to end my self-inflicted hiatus from painting and fishing. Tomorrow, I’m gonna paint something… I have no idea what it will be, but I’m going to paint. Here’s the final: I would go into a big description of what I did, but honestly I’m so sick…

The Never-Ending Bathroom Remodel
I am so sick of working in our bathroom. I’ve been working in there three nights/week and the weekends for the past three or four weeks, I’ve lost count. But, rather than complain, I should be thankful that I’m able to do this work on my own. If I would have hired this out, I’m…

Where’d you go?
I know, the four people who check this thing wasn’t to know why I haven’t posted a painting in a while. Well, a few weeks ago, our bathroom started raining into the basement whenever someone took a shower, so I had to rip it down to the studs. Working full time, and remodeling in the…

DIY Kayak Cart
Some of the places I like to fish are a good bit off the road, so I have to carry my kayak a good ways. I’ve wanted a kayak cart for a while, so today I figured, why not try to make one? I don’t know how well this will hold up in the long…

Bargue, The Drawing Course: #1
I took a few days off of art to build this for my kids. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, and I hope it will stand up to some abuse (from the weather and from children.) I built it so it could be a play house for them, and we can use it…

Reilly Method Infographic
I have been trying to learn how to draw, and I came across the Reilly Method, which is sort of a middle ground that help go from the Loomis Method to see the Asaro planes. You can Google those terms if they don’t mean anything to you. I really like the Reilly Method, probably because…

Drawing Exercises
I am a little over halfway through my two week break from watercolor painting. I keep having to force myself to stay away. I decided to use this time to work on my drawing. I haven’t focused on drawing much largely because I get frustrated by how bad I am. I want to draw from…

Font Infographic
I don’t know who designed the font menu in every application ever… but seriously folks. We can do better than that. Every time I need a new font, I try to quickly browse through the entire list of fonts on my PC, and it inevitably ends up taking at least an hour of flipping from…
