Along the Pan-American Highway

I have always enjoyed drawing while on the road from one place to another.
Moving through the landscape, the quick look as it passes by, and something catches my eye. The page is a composite of visual elements, the essentials of the scene.
On the bus from Guatemala City it changes quickly to rural towns and volcanic landscape. Catching people, buildings, animals, things particular to the Central American scene on the pages of my sketchbook.

Guatemala, March 2012

Four views of Volcan San Pedro, 3020 meters, Volcan Atitlan, 3537 meters and
Volcan Toliman, 3158 meters above Lake Atitlan.
The view was constantly changing as the peaks went in and out of the clouds and the surface of the lake from calm to active.
It really is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. I would go back in a flash.
