Finding time for Art when you have a 9 to 5, bills, rent, young kid's, a wife, and that occasional freelance assignment that you wish would come around more often. $,$,$, time, time, time. Wish I had more of both, but I do manage to make time for art. Even if it's just to doodle in my sketch book daily. Inspiration will eventually strike and somehow, when it does, I find the time I need to do what it is I'm inspired to do. I don't know how I find that time but I do.

These quick sketches were done before turning in for the day. I have a few sheets of BFK Rives print making paper saved from my college days. I used it for charcoal drawings back then and thought it should work really well with gouache, which it did. Very nice paper, takes wet washes and doesn't get warp also its very easy to build and blend the paint on this surface. A very nice painting experience.

I spent no more than two hours on each sketch.
