Sketches from Broken Bow Lake

I've recently been spending a lot of time with a freelance project. A PAYING freelance project. There's something intensely satisfying in getting paid to draw.

Anyway, with some recent down time from the project I was able to get away with the family for a weekend out at the lake. After a four hour car ride we rented a cabin out in the country, relaxed in the hot tub and got a lot of fishing in down at the water. Here are a few of my sketches from my sketchbook I did while vacationing.

My son loved the hot tub and wanted to jump in every chance he got. He's also recently seen the Avengers movie and insisted on spending his saved allowance on a Captain America costume. So, we had our own super hero to keep us safe.

The local bait and tackle shop proprietor found the English language lacking in providing enough sarcastic expression as he asked the question he was legally required to ask. What, we don't look like year round mountain folk?

I had a great time fishing out on the lake. The fish had a great time not getting involved.

Up early with my father-in-law for some lakeside fishing inspired me to sketch down a quick landscape in pencil.

It was a great weekend and super relaxing. Now, time to get back to work.
