Sketchbook: Stone and Wood as Inspiration
Beachcombing at Edgewater Beach, Mukilteo. I often find rocks that I have the urge to photograph.
Picking up rocks, photographing their details, and putting them back is one of the things that I do at Edgewater Beach. A couple of weeks ago I loved the lines and rust effects of this stone, so I added it to my photographic collection.
I’m working on a large painting in my studio now that I’m hoping to add to my wallcovering collection at Look Walls. My beach rock images, slabs of marble and granite that I’ve been obsessing over on Pinterest, and my collection of driftwood photographs are providing inspiration for the artwork.
Sneak peek at my Stone Pinterest board. This one is a secret board, simply so I don’t overwhelm my public feed.
I love driftwood. The lines, color palette, and weathering of this small section of a large log is amazing.
Interesting rock patterns catch my attention.
See how a morning spent observing ancient stone in Corfu, Greece inspired two abstract paintings.
Notes From The Studio
If you’re drawn to artwork shaped by atmosphere, memory, and the emotional experience of place, I share personal and studio reflections along with early previews of available work through Notes From the Studio.
