Lion trackers
I don’t know where we are going but I know exactly how to get there might be the motto of the great tracker. “Track. Track. Track,” Ren has said to me at other times.I understood him to mean find the first track, then the next first track, then the one after that. He does not…

Dark sky stream
Inspired by a recent walk with the dog. I glanced at this while crossing a little bridge into one of the neighborhoods nearby our house and loved the way the sun was peeking out over the clouds and treeline. I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, Derwent Inktense Watercolors, and Derwent Waterbrushes for this…

Whidbey beach
One of my favorite places in the whole world is the San Juan Islands in the Puget Sound. This was inspired by a trip to one of those islands (Whidbey), in early 2017. For those that don’t know, here is where the island is: I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, Derwent Inktense Watercolors,…

Main St tomatoes
I’ve been stuck in the living room with a back injury and what is in front of me is my wife’s tomato plants, the dog, and the kids toys. I love doing these urban sketches of the house and not worrying about it being perfect. I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, Derwent Inktense…

Winter field at sunset
I did this a while ago but never got around to publishing it here. This painting was inspired by walks in the field during sunset in December. The sun sets so early in the winter this scene was based on a photo taken just before 4pm! I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, Derwent…

Mic check
Another Zoom portrait, this one using some different colors as an experiment from my usual monochrome approach in the past. I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, Derwent Inktense Watercolors, and Derwent Waterbrushes for this painting.

Blue bell wood
This one “looks like The Gruffalo” says my wife. I don’t disagree. 😃 This scene is part of the field where we take our dog Rubee for walks. The woods here are now finally full and the floor is covered with bluebell flowers (I think that is what they are called anyway). It’s quite cool…

Morning colors
I love my mornings and often the morning (and late evening) is the best weather-wise here in Scotland. Here is a little watercolor I did that was inspired by the morning sky. I used pencil, Derwent Inktense watercolors, and a Uniball Eye pen on this painting. Here is a photo I snapped on the walk…

Hand and thumb
Another Zoom portrait using racing green instead of the typical sepia. I like the way the green turned out and picked this snapshot as I thought the inclusion of the hand was interesting. Turned out pretty good I think. Progress. 📈 This piece was done using Derwent Inktense watercolors and water pens, along with a…

Back garden under construction
This is a view of our back garden as of a few weeks ago. Those trees you see are now in the ground, but things are still very much under construction. I hadn’t yet drawn the church by our house, so I liked the challenge of that as well as all the layers in this…
