Some new drawings and a finished watercolor painting.The top one is a watercolor inspired by the eno river cotton mill in west hillsborough.The bottom one is of carrboro where east main street and east weaver street converge.

My scanner was down so i was not able to scan any of my finished pieces of art work or any of my sketches .I have two new sketches the top one is of the Raleigh Durham international airport while waiting for my moms luggage .The second drawing from the top was done today in chapel hill while eating at a Japanese called Kurami it was pouring rain outside everything was grayish .Before eating at Kurami we had gone to the Ackland museum of art where we saw coal iron and steam at the heart of progress art exhibit .The third drawing from the top is a commissioned work of art of San Fransisco with Alcatraz and the bay in the background .

Greensboro

I went to Greensboro this weekend because i was playing in a tennis tournament over at Barbra park and in between matches i decided to head in to Greensboro and ended up seeing some really cool buildings on elm street.There where also a lot of ghost signs which are old faded advertisements painted on the front and side of buildings.The pictures from top to bottom are an old ghost sign on a building and then a picture of elm street.I am starting a watercolor of the second picture from the top.
