Watercolour and ink on paper Yesterday it was both warm and cool enough to sit outside and sketch for half an hour. We haven’t had many of those and when the weather was right I have been busy gardening. The boards are there to try to keep the animals from digging. Still #uskathome in St. […]

Flowers
Some slightly better images of recent oils, plus a watercolour from today. There are so many lovely flowers in the garden at the moment, I can’t resist painting them. from Blogger http://splynch.blogspot.com/2020/05/flowers.html
Honesty
7″X5″ Oil on board One more from the garden. We used to call them money plants when I was a child. The seed pods are lovely in Autumn arrangements. from Blogger http://splynch.blogspot.com/2020/05/honesty.html Related Images:
Fleur de Lis
7″X5” Oil on board I recently saw a stop motion video of some plants with a comment about “who knew that plants moved so much”. Well, anyone who has ever tried to paint them, that’s who. I knocked this little iris off while weeding yesterday and just had to bring it inside. There is some […]
Staying at Home 8 – Humphrey

Harriet’s Church
12″X12” Acrylic on canvas Urban, but not a sketch. This is another I have been working on for the “Small Feats” fundraiser, now postponed indefinitely. The Salem Chapel, or British Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in 1820 by African American freedom seekers and was a centre of abolitionist activity. Harriet Tubman was probably the most […]

Staying at home 6
#uskathome pen and ink My kitchen table, please don’t judge me! Not enough time today to add colour, the dog insisted on going out. from Blogger http://splynch.blogspot.com/2020/03/staying-at-home-6.html

#uskathome Ink, watercolour and gel pen Another view of a window. I hadn’t intended to include the dog but she insinuated herself. Lighting changed from overcast (with thunder) to bright sunshine while I was sketching. I would like to thank urban sketcher Steven Reddy for his excellent tutorials. They have helped me enormously to loosen […]
