    Gaming in the zone

    I’m not sure what this strange illustration came from, but I’ve been doing more gaming lately so it has been in my head a bit more. I had the idea to do something lighter but this illustration got darker and messier as I went. I used watercolors and Sakura Brush Pens for this illustration.

  • Fall leaves

    Fall leaves

    Fall is generally my favorite time of year, although this year it is taking a long time for that “feeling” to reach me. These watercolor paintings of fall leaves are helping to bring the mood. I wanted to put a couple of postcards/notes in a recent packet of cards and letters to my folks back […]

    Late evening in the park

    I painted this watercolor painting of our local park at dusk the other night after my daughter and I took the dog out on an evening walk. The sky was unexpectedly clear and the light was fading, but there was a lot of color in the sky. I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, […]

    Looking down The Law

    Here is a recent landscape watercolor painting of a hill called The Law in Scotland. Going down The Law, one of the hills in the Ochil Hills range, was the best part of my recent hike up Ben Cleuch. After getting to the top of Ben Cleuch, we slowly descended down The Law and the […]

    Vivian’s first day of school

    Similar to what I did for Sam, I made a little portrait of Vivian from her first day of school. She loves that her hair looks a little reddish/purple as she really wants to dye her hair. Oh, and shave it on one side to get it swooping over the other. 🙄 I used a […]

  • Rubee in the field

    Rubee in the field

    A little watercolor landscape, this time with the dog. Her sitting while in a field is a rare occurrence indeed. The texture and pattern of the grass was something I wanted to work on a bit on this. I wanted it to appear flat like the hillside makes it look, not stretching off into the […]
