7″X5″ Oil on boardYes it is starting to look quite Christmassy out there and it has been quite cold (well not by Winnipeg standards) around -7 C. I am not sure how much painting I am going to be able to get done over the next few days but you will prob… [...] 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 [...]
8″X5″ Pen on paper Sitting up in the donors’ lounge again at lunch time, I watched these starlings as they flocked to the narrow strip of bare ground along the edge of the building. I don’t know what they were finding to eat there but there were hundreds of them. Of course they weren’t [...] 7″X5″ WC pencil on paper The high temperature today was -14C at noon. Going to work this morning and coming home, it was a lot colder than that, especially with the “wind-chill factor”.

I did it about four or five years ago and [...] 8″X5.5″ Pen on paper I have lost track of how many “Noon on the Common” drawings and paintings I have done. I realized that I have this great view from the lounge at the theatre, so I may do this same view a few times over the winter and spring, before the season [...] 7″X5″ Oil on panel It doesn’t look much like a golf course right now. The bunker-like building in the distance is Fort Mississauga, an interesting old brick building that I really must try to paint sometime. This is the first time I have painted in oils since before Christmas I think, whenever it [...] 5″X7″ Marker on paper The weather is about as vile as it gets. Hovering close to freezing with alternate snow and rain, turning the roads into slush and then ice, and back to slush again. Walking wasn’t much fun either when I went out for this one. [...] 7″X5″ Mixed media on paper I did several things here that I don’t usually do. I combined watercolour and acrylic ink, using the white acrylic ink for the snow on the trees. I used a hairdryer to speed drying between washes, and I used salt for the snow effect. I have actually painted this [...] |
