Sharing is a super-nice thing to do

I'm out here in the desert so naturally all of my thoughts and imaginations that go on to black paper and white charcoal, at least as far as Landscapes go are centered on themes of forest trees and bodies of water be they lakes or oceans. When I'm there I'll probably draw desert stuff.

Acadia On My Mind White Charcoal On A 4 Size Black Paper By John Atkinson
Acadia On My Mind

This White Charcoal on A4 Size Black Paper is but a momentary vision of Acadia. Rocky seacoast, densely forested islands rising from the mist and the crash of the surf. Maine. 

Art with a post. A thought a moment here and there to find a thought with art to share.

This is probably where I will get the comment to just shut the F up and draw stuff. But its a way to blog with a twist. To the backdrop of whatever place I am thinking of today.

This scene? Like most, combination photo that inspires, pinterested technique to try and just plain old out of my head and figure the technique out on my own steam. That is how I roll best. Sometimes what comes out sucks, sometimes it doesn’t. Either way I throw it to the mercy of my friendset on social media and generally they tell me it’s great. I expect some of them are even being honest, though if I thought it sucked before, I still do.

I am here at The Ranch. On a new adventure on paper, looking to refine skills and be each day just a little bit more than the day before. Acadia National Park in Maine is one of my favorite spots with good memories ranging from camping with my daughter to the first away trip with M.

Will we get there again this year? Unlikely. But you never know.
