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.

Trees and Kid

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

Here’s “Cover Art” by Yours Truly, for the autumn issue of Roses and Wildflowers, “The Magazine of Mythopoeia and Fabulism.” That’s quite a mouthful, but I’m getting used to it. Please click on the link, and subscribe. Their heart is in the right place!

Watercolour Faces

By in color, Gouache, heads, Jack's House of Cats, men, montreal, paintings, Portraits, self-promotion, sketches, watercolour

I’m just putting this up to see how big the graphic is….  Not too impressive, eh? It’s relaxing sitting on the front balcony doodling faces and the passing scene outside. People go by, things go by, as James Agee put it… Watercolour takes a lot of work to get back to one’s level. Haven’t sold […]

By in ballpoint pen, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, montreal, paintings, pencil, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolour

   Here we are, in my old-fashioned editor, putting up pictures from my sketchbook into my old-fashioned blog. I used to know how to write CSS, and make pretty styles for text and paragraphs. Not to mention the tags for these illustrations. Haven’t done much of that for a long while! I listened to a […]
