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 [...] 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 this world. [...] 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.

I didn’t have time to paint or even sketch of course, so I took a few photographs. This old chap was the only other person there, just standing [...] 5″X7″ Graphite on paper Such a beautiful day today, I had to get out at lunchtime but I didn’t have very long. The river is very calm right now and the trees are almost completely bare. I wonder who they are voting for over there? With 31 electoral votes, New York state seems to [...] 7″X5″ Watercolour on paper Blobby trees, a bit of a dogs breakfast really. I haven’t been too happy with anything recently, it is hard to stay motivated. I think I will do some quick line drawings for the next few days to try to loosen up. [...]
7″X5″ Acrylic on paper Further adventures in acrylics. I have always been fascinated by the way that these three trees turn at different rates. Larches have always interested me anyway, why are they deciduous when all other conifers are evergreen? According to Wikipedia “Larches are among the dominant plants in the immense boreal forests [...] |
