Painter
10″X7” Watercolour and ink on paper
I am finding it hard to be inspired in these isolated times, so here is my house (and dog).

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. Catharines.

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.

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.

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 disagreement as to whether the fleur de lis is an iris or a lily. I have always thought that the iris is a more likely candidate.
It has been a long time since I painted in oils, and even longer since I was doing my regular daily paintings in this size. I am a bit out of practice but should probably persevere.

This is Humphrey. He is taking part in the local teddy bear hunt. Actually I am not sure that anyone else is playing but he has always been a very optimistic bear, ever since he was abandoned in a parking lot 60 years ago and was confident that he would find a home somewhere (he did).
I am not sure why he is wearing two sweaters, one made by my mother and another by me thirty years later, but it is still a little chilly around here, so maybe it is just as well.

Ink and watercolour
Something a little different. These daffodils and forsythia are from my garden.

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 famous member of this congregation.
It is located in downtown St. Catharines.

#uskathome ink and watercolour
Another day, another window. Not much colour, inside or out, at this time of year.

#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.
