A sketch from a few weeks ago while I was at young men’s camp. I will be working on a color version soon. I am doing pretty well with drawing daily. Last week got a bit difficult with other responsibilities.

Sketching again!

Spent the weekend camping at Camp Joseph in South Royalton, VT. I had a great urge to study trees. I think I will be doing more of this over the summer. I am still being inspired by E. H. Shephard’s work.

Summer Sketching – Camp

This summer I had the opportunity to help at two camps for my church. They were both at Camp Joseph in Sharon, Vermont. A beautiful location. These are sketches of the day we went canoeing and the nurse's cabin. 

Sketching while camping

Last week I was able to be an adult leader at a boys camp with my oldest son. It was surprisingly rejuvenating. I realized some areas that I need to refocus on in my life. This is a sketch of one of the camp-sites at Camp Joseph. It is a wonderfully peaceful place to visit. The camp is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and is located right next to the birth place of Joseph Smith.

I spent the week helping with a small group of youth ages 12-15. I helped split and stack wood for the camp and spent time drawing, studying, pondering, and playing games with the young men (among many other things).
