Blue Sky 2 - A Work in Progress

As I was going through some paintings I pulled this one out that I had started a while ago (see post on 11 December 2013) and decided to work on getting some trees into the painting..

Since the sky was washes of Antwerp Blue I decide that I would make it a monochrome painting and just use the one colour.













I will post this painting at a later date once I have more of it completed.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork.

Fresh Snow 1 - A Work in Progress

Today I was experimenting with using a round brush on its side to create grasses.

I used a sky I had painted last year (see post on 18 October 2011) for the background and it seems to work not too badly for getting the bulk of the grass in fairly quickly.













Once the grasses had dried I indicated a few tree trunks.

This painting will be posted at a later date once it has been completed.

Nautical Still Life - A Work in Progress

Our theme for today at the Still Life class at KAGS was Sailing. Carol volunteered to bring in the elements for the class.

After drawing my sketch in lightly I started working on the buoys. I will post this painting once I have completed another section.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork.

The Wharf I

This is another sketch I did when I was in Cuba a couple of years ago.

It is of an old wharf down the beach from where we were staying.

Most of the wooden planks were missing except at the far end and you had to swim out to it if you wished to stand on what was left of the wharf.

This is one that I would like to do in the future as a large full colour painting. I just have to decide if I would like to do it in watercolour or acrylic.

This original 5" x 9" pen and ink drawing is available for $45.00.

Misty Coastline I

It seems that so far this month we have been on a nautical theme and thought I would continue with it.

I can picture this scene as a sunset and will probably work this drawing up at a later date for a watercolour painting.













This is an original 4" x 5-1/2" matted and shrink wrapped pen and ink drawing which will be available for $35.00.

Moon Glow I - A Work in Progress

One of the many nice things about living in the Kawarthas are the lakes and the peaceful evenings.

This is one of those times with a full moon shining down on the lake adding a its glistening pathway and frosting the gunwale of a boat left anchored in the almost motionless water.

More work still needs to be done to the water and boat. I will post this drawing when it is completed.

Warning Tower 1

This is an original 5" x 9" framed pen and ink painting and is available for $145.00.

I often do sketches of different locations while watching television. It takes me to places I have never seen and sparks my imagination.











This was from an old black and white movie I was watching late one night. I saw the lighthouse for less than a minute and this is the end result.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.
