FYI

By in montreal, ruttan's place

This is from my Mom’s copy of The Joy of Cooking (sadly the copyright page and front cover are missing): But I prefer this one below, which she enclosed. A version of this chili is keeping me warm at the moment!

Papineau Metro

By in montreal, sketches, women

This lady was sitting across from me as I was riding the Montreal Metro. She was actually flashier than this, and possibly indigenous. I didn’t sketch her on the spot, but I drew my impression of her later, and scanned it for here. Mainly to prove I could do it….

Costumed Grouch

By in black and white, heads, men, pencil, Portraits, sketches

This guy’s photo went by quickly on my iPhone, and I tried to sketch him as quickly as I could. He’s 6×9 inches, in graphite on crappy dollar store paper.

Childhood Dog

By in dogs, paintings, watercolor, watercolour

I was digging through what I laughingly call my “archives,” and this little painting fell out. It’s a portrait I did some years ago of our family’s childhood dog, Pimmy. He was a “Toy Terrier,” which meant he was a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier, and a beagle. Not the brightest dog in the […]

Watercolour Kitty

By in cats, paintings, watercolor, watercolour

This is a painting I did this morning. Not a masterpiece, and nothing to do with Christmas, but I learn by doing things, and painting makes me feel good. Dollarama Watercolour paper, about 5 x 7 inches.

Witch Lady with Cat

By in paintings, watercolor

My blog still seems to be working, but please bear with me as I upgrade it from the 1990’s version of WordPress. I’ll include links here to where this is officially going on the web, once I figure them out. This picture was more for Halloween, and was illustrating someone’s story. A much more famous […]

Trees and Kid

By in heads, men, paintings, Portraits, sketches, watercolour

I’m watercolouring again. Using the cheap paper, but still, it’s good to get into things. I did the kid separately, and then digitally pasted him in. So, it’s a combination digital/watercolour work, if you want to be technical about it.
