This is a photograph of a coastal scene from the point of view on top of the hillside. In the photo you can also see a sketchbook that's painted the same scene. The painting is a watercolour that has been done loosely. The majority of the painting is the sky.

I was sketching some Vermeere paintings with coloured pencils, on the left is "the milkmaid" and on the right is the "Girl with a pearl earring". Because they're next to each other on the same page it kinda looks like a girl with a Pearl earring is peering over her shoulder to ask, "have you lit the candles" just as she swings the door open burst out in song for the Milkmaid... happy birthdaaaay tooo you,, 🎶

Bisecting spiky fronds of a Monkey Palm plant convey both a meeting and bending of dimensional intersections, which can be seen as a parallel for long-term international travel and a meeting and blending of world cultures

Early morning value sketches.

#drawing #marker #sketch
Gray-scale marker drawing of a group of trees rising from a bed of snow. A close up view of a few thick trunks, capturing crisscrossed shadows from their upper limbs, is in center view while thinner trees rise behind, in the distance. Gray-scale marker drawing of a house along Weybridge Street in Middlebury, VT. The tall, slender, white clapboard house sets covered in angular roofing displaying a large shadow from a tree to the right and out of view. Various slender windows dot the houses facades, topped with a chimney under a pale sky. Gray-scale marker drawing of buildings along Mauritskade in The Hague, Netherlands. Tall and squat stone buildings shoulder against each other as a slender tower rises to the right. Dark angular shadows run vertically along the structures, telling of the bright mid-day sun from the above right.

A sort of a study I did recently which I felt was unsuccessful but led to another little piece. About 8x6 in. Pastel, graphite pencil, and colored pencil.

#art #drawing #pastel
Minimal pastel and pencil drawing with blue, orange, brown, grey, and black. A few lines making various shapes and curves. Smudging also used.

This is an illustration to this little short storey/ poem.. Come sail with me, let's ride the crest of waves, float on horizonless skies, Or white water rapids, in corrugated ply. Come sail with me On the most epic of digital detox, A 6x4' cardboard box Steer clear! The Island of drawers Pirates and their smelly socks. Land is near! Lets moor here, Eye spy a bounty of treats Looking delightfully sweet.

Portrait of Minnie Evans. Born in 1892, Evans was a neurodivergent African-American folk artist whose work was often inspired by her visions, which she had since she was a child. #art #artsky #painting #painter #folkart #outsiderart #traditionalart #minnieevans
Pastel and acrylic painting on paper shows portrait of old black woman with sad brown eyes wearing a purple hat and a green coat. Her blouse is red, and the background is a light tan.
