Serene Place I

This is a little sketch I did out on the point near my friend Heather's home.

It is of one of the small islands in Chemong Lake and the shore behind it is known for the bass lurking in its waters.














This original 4" x 6" framed pen and ink drawing is available for $125.00. SOLD

ACEO - Rosebud 1

With June being the month most roses start blooming I thought it would be nice to do a painting of a rose.

Rather than do a solid coloured rose, I decided to do the rosebud of a blended coloured rose.

Body Parts II - Jeremy

Today I was at KAGS  for the Life Drawing class and we had Jeremy as the model.

I did a couple of sketches of him and for the long pose I liked the way the light, shadows and reflected light played across his shoulder and arm so I did this drawing.

If you wish to view the sketches and paintings I have created of the nude figure please go to my Life Drawing Portfolio.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.

Spray

This was a painting that I had started a while ago (see posting 26 July 2010) and after looking at it for a while I decided to make it more dramatic that it needed to be cropped down.














I put a wash of colour over the rocks to darken them slightly and decided to leave well enough alone.

This 6-1/2" x 9-1/4" original watercolour painting when framed will be available for $195.00.

Overpowering Forces

The eastern shore of Aruba is constantly barraged by the wind and the waves.

The well-known Natural Bridge was created over thousands of years of pounding surf which caused the coral limestone rock to erode. The Bridge was one of the largest formations of its type in the world, having a span of over 100ft (30.5m) and over 25ft (7.6m) high. It was an impressive tourist attraction until its collapse in the early morning hours of 02 September 2005, when the powerful waves finally caused it to become unstable and break apart.














In its place at the same location, just a few feet away, another smaller bridge has formed known as Baby Bridge.

This is one of a number of paintings I started of the waves crashing against the rock face in Aruba a few years ago (see posts on 30 Oct 2010 and 12 Mar 2012).

I added the texture to the cliff  and spray from the waves splashing up against the rock face.

This original 10-1/2" x 14-1/2" watercolour when framed will be available for $295.00.

Lake's Edge

Today is a bright and sunny day and I thought a painting of Chemong Lake showing the promise of things to come would be appropriate as temperatures are warming up in preparation for the summer.

Congratulations to new collector Mr. John Roesch of Burlington, Ontario on his purchase of this original 5-1/4" x 7" framed watercolour painting.
