iPad drawing

I decided to try something completely different today. I did a very quick and rough sketch yesterday of a little bronze statue in the lobby of the local library. This evening I scanned it and then played with it on my iPad. It is a little easier than just trying to start from scratch on the iPad. Interesting anyway.

5"X7" Acrylic on board

I don't often take on commissions, quite honestly I find them terrifying, especially animal and children portraits. I made an exception for this one as at least the subject was known to me.

I didn't really have any very good photos so I had to use a composite of several, mostly my own but some taken by someone else.

Every morning at around 5:30 Frankie likes to go for a walk on Sandy Beach in Puntas. This is a very famous surfing beach, but there aren't too many surfers this early in the morning.

5"X7" original acrylic painting by Sarah Lynch

Herring Gulls are ubiquitous. This one is quite young, he still has some of his juvenile spots in evidence on his neck and head.

I grew up by the sea and got used to seeing them everywhere, they are sea-gulls after all. The Herring Gulls were only one of several species one would see on Worthing beach. There were Black-headed Gulls and Great and Lesser Black-backed Gulls, as well as terns, divers, sandpipers and plovers. It was only when I found myself in the centre of this vast continent that I realized just how far the Herring Gulls disperse. Anywhere around the Great Lakes they are almost as common as they are by the ocean. I am not sure how far away from the Lakes they can be found. I don't think I have ever seen any in the desert, but I am willing to be corrected.

Digital painting using "Brushes" app

There have been a lot of changes in my life recently, not the least of which has been my acquisition of an iPad. I have been trying to teach myself to use the various digital painting apps . I must admit I am having little success so far. Don't worry, I don't intend to abandon pencil and brush in favor of this new medium, but I do like to explore new tools and I must say that I have been having fun.
