Drawing of a Farm in Sainte Genevieve County, Missouri

A nice lady from St. Louis asked me to do a drawing of the farm she grew up on.  All that remains at the farm is the house and the rock building and a portion of the rock walls.  Both barns are gone.  Based on a number of conversations with her and some sketches from her brother this was the result.

Etching

I took an etching class at Evil Prints in St. Louis.

The picture below is the plate that was etched.

"Sunset on Corinth School" was accepted in the Harlin Museums "Vanishing Ozarks 2009-Country Stores and Schoolhouses" show. I received a Merit Award.

Self Portrait

I know everyone has been demanding a self portrait. Anyway, I tried to do one Wall Street Journal style. The stipple technique with pen and ink. I'm not quite finished. I need to finish the shirt.
