A little scattered, and nervous, but getting things done. I think these reflect my state of mind. I think everything will be okay, but have no idea at the moment how that will come about.

Yellow Dog
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, sketches, watercolour“Old Yeller?” I like drawing in the morning, and I like being spontaneous, but it has its disadvantages. Certain things make me go “darn!” but I wonder if anyone will notice them, or cares. Could be a dog with ears of different length. Or maybe he’s just a dog who looks like that, and it’s […]

Your Morning Pigeon and Chihuahua
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, watercolourWhat’s a little depressing is when you go a “Graphic Image Search” (GIS for those in the know) for “pigeon,” you get a larger than usual number of dead and messed up pigeons. It’s not the main thing I think of when watching pigeons out my front door, but there are a lot of them […]

Boring Old Men
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourMainly painting boring [pointing] old men in suits. Don’t know why I do these. They’re not for entertainment. They’re just what come out, instead of women in bikinis and such-like. Anyhow, I’m having fun with my new dreary paint colour. It’s mainly sort of a zen exercise for me. But perhaps I’ll get onto something […]

Back to Colour
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, sketches, watercolourReported in an earlier post that the Art-Tec store had gone out of business and was having a sale. I saw the building while going by in a bus, taking my cat to the vet (it was to get her stitches out from spaying surgery: very successful). But the store was sad: all of the […]

Fast Watercolour Faces
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourOn chintzy paper, no less! Probably a reaction to trying to be so neat and precise the last time, and crying over a misplaced dot of green paint. These are at least more fun to do!

Further Monster Cats, and Things.
By Jack Ruttan in cats, watercolourThis is Nekko Dekko, the protector of Honshu. Below, a couple of people in red: You’d think it would be easier, painting two pictures on the same piece of paper at the same time. Saves effort stretching it, and all that. But it’s too easy to splatter dark blobs of paint around, and therefore not […]

More characters
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourI like this pair. It’s a music teacher and his student. The background is what you get if you mess your paint around after applying it to dry paper. I’m often frustrated in trying to get a smooth perfect wash, but find this sort of thing much more interesting to look at.
