Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing: The Castle Garden, A Year Later
http://elsbethmcleod.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-castle-garden-year-later.html
Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing. Monday, July 6, 2015. The Castle Garden, A Year Later. It was a sloppy beginning, hard to capture the curves of the pathway with a pen. Tough to gauge how prominently the tree trunks would figure into my composition. Maybe I could do some pruning? On paper, of course. What will I leave out, and what will I showcase? And how do I get the wet colors to run smoothly, when the dry breeze was determined to dry them instantly. July 6, 2015 at 7:11 PM. An appearan...

Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing: Curbside Horticulture, 5th Avenue

Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Curbside Horticulture, 5th Avenue. The colors and vibrancy of vegetation this Spring is eye-popping. How could anyone not be out sketching, painting or photographing? Next Winter, along about January, I'll pull this out and remember the glow of sun through the tulips and new leaves.

Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing: March 2015
http://elsbethmcleod.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing. Monday, March 9, 2015. As many of you know, the Pigment Spill experiments I've been working with for weeks have given way to serious study, exploring the various ways of utilizing them. I started with sketching over them with colored pencil, allowing the blooms to be nothing more than back drop. That was okay. Not wonderful. I played with the textures, bringing faces out of the salt blooms, and that was fun. Saturday, March 7, 2015. The Fave Coffee Joint.

Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. This was another small study that will be a gift to a new friend, when we finally get a chance to get together.

Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Book Cover Initial Mock Up. This is my initial effort, with much help from my wonderful husband on the printing part.

Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing. Monday, November 3, 2014. Halloween Bash In Ashland. A fellow klassmate in Sketchbook Skool lives in Ashland, Oregon, and apparently most of the town turns out in costume (some real humdingers, too) to hit the streets and party. This online friend and her husband posted photos of themselves enjoying festivities, while in costume. I got inspired. Quick sketch with a Pentel Brush Pen, and watercolor.

Elsbeth McLeod Sculpture, Painting and Writing. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Once upon a time, decades ago, I used to play around in my sketchbook with fantasy bugs.
