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…

Partick bridge, the River Kelvin
A little painting from our recent walk around Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park on a random day where we took the train and underground into the city with no destination in particular. This scene is of the Partick bridge spanning the River Kelvin with the tower of Glasgow University in the background. Beautiful spot.

Elie from the bedroom window
The family and I got away for a little trip last week and we stayed at an AirBnB with a great little view from the back bedroom window. Here is a little drawing/painting I did of what the view looked like. I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, Derwent Inktense Watercolors, and Derwent Waterbrushes…

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,…

Yellow winter field
Another painting I did this past winter similar to the field at sunset. This one is of a gully that is nearby our house and next to a larger field. The grasses grow wild in the summer, making it hard to pass through, but in the winter it is totally different. Our dog loves to…

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…

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…

Twisting branches
I’ve been noticing the branches of the trees here in Scotland all winter, how they are angular and curved at the same time, and have been wanting to draw and paint them in more detail for awhile. I actually started this with the intention of doing many of the branches but quickly became overwhelmed with…
