Solstice

5.5″X3.5″ Watercolour & ink in Moleskine

Not a very good photograph but I was too lazy to scan it (I have to take my laptop into the other room). This is really “Noon on the Common 158″ or something, but I thought I would take advantage of … [...]

Blossom 2

7″X5″ Oil on board

More blossom, this time caught against the backdrop of Lake Ontario, glistening in the noonday sun.

[...]

Tree, Puerto Rico

A couple of small pictures of the same subject, the tree outside my window in Puntas.

I am going to be straying from my usual seasonal themes for some time to come I think. I still have a lot of material from Puerto Rico and I want to use it while … [...]

Against the Day

9″X6″ Mixed media

Not much of an offering but at least I tried.
I went for a short walk at lunchtime and sat for a few minutes to do this quick sketch. I wasn’t helped by the fact that I was drawing “contre jour”. It was also a bit chilly and I didn… [...]

October Morning

7″X5″ Acrylic on board

You can’t trust the weather at this time of year. This morning was bright and clear and the sun made such pretty shadows on the fallen leaves. It kept diving back behind the clouds though so I had to snap a picture to try to … [...]

Date Palm

5″X8″ WC pencil on paper

Dipping into the archives again. A couple of years ago I was in Tucson around this time of year, for a conference. I was lucky enough to stay with some friends for a couple of days before and after and I got to see a bit of … [...]

Another Tree

11″X8″ Marker on paper

I wasn’t going to post anything tonight, feeling a bit under-the-weather and sorry for myself, then I remembered that I had done this a couple of days ago out on the common at lunchtime. I did rather a lot of these last year, combining Copic markers and office highlighters, it must be a [...]

The Tree

6″X6″ Oil on panel

This tree sits in the middle of the Niagara-on-the-Lake common. It lost a branch in a winter storm and it is very lopsided. I don’t think it is long for [...]

Tree Study

5.5″X7″ Marker on paper

I love drawing winter trees, they are both a challenging and a forgiving study. It is easy to get lost in the detail, but it doesn’t really matter too much if you do.

Today is Groundhog Day, a quaint North American tradition that holds that if the groundhog sees his shadow when he comes [...]

Tree and River

5″X7″ Watercolour on paper

Being without a computer is odd, I am lucky to have access to this one or I would have had to break my promise to finish off the year. I had meant to write a long post about my plans for the coming year but I don’t really have time to do that [...]
