I really do have new paintings coming along, I just haven't photographed them yet! But here are a couple of sketches from my sketchbook that I think you may enjoy. I can't stress the benefits of sketching enough! Not only does it sharpen your artistic skills, it is a fun and relaxing way to spend your time. I use my sketch book as a journal also. I find that a combination of writing and drawing is a wonderful way to express yourself. Both of these sketches were done near Wahkeena Falls in the Columbia Gorge.
