Hammock

7″X5.5″ Watercolour on paper I spent a lot of time on the porch in PR. This hammock was a lovely place to hang out in the afternoons. [...]

Maybelline 2

7″X5″ Acrylic on board Here she is again, in her favourite chair. Lovely afternoon light coming through the west window, no glass in the windows, just storm shutters. I haven’t painted as much as I had intended, other stuff getting in the way. T… [...]

Maybelline

5.5″X7″ Pencil on paper Sweet Maybelline is a Sato. She has brown rings around her eyes, hence the name. She is a very passive and laid-back dog, happy to be a follower. This is just as well because her companion, Trigger, is very much the alpha … [...]

Pools Beach Evening

7″X5″ Acrylic on board This lovely spot is just a five minute walk from where I was staying in Puntas. It is one of the great surfing beaches in Puerto Rico, being on the Atlantic side of Rincon. It faces North West, so it is also one of the best … [...]

Sunrise, Puntas

7″X5″ Acrylic on board It is fun to be painting something other than bare trees and snow for a while. I was beginning to think that I had exhausted the possibilities of the Niagara winter so it is nice to have something different to paint. I took… [...]

Tres Palmas

7″X5″ Acrylic on board Rincon, Puerto Rico has the advantage of both Atlantic and Caribbean beaches. It is the most westerly point of the island and the coast which faces north-west provides excellent surfing while the beaches facing south-west, … [...]

Thrasher

5.5″X3.5″ pencil in moleskine Every day the “Yellow-eyed-fruit-demander” comes and perches on the balcony railing expecting to be fed. Papaya seems to be his favourite but he is also very fond of bananas and quite partial to avocado. I expect he … [...]
