Lake Simcoe 2011
January 7, 2012 at 12:55 pm | Posted in canada, Digital Painting, fall, lake, ontario, summer | Leave a commentThis is a series of Lake Simcoe near Jackson’s Point I hope to further pursue. Just like Monet did with the river Seine I hope to cover the same vantage point with different time and weather.
Briars Golf Course

This is an old crooked evergreen on the final hole. It’s December and I can’t believe that there is no snow this year. It was warm enough to draw with the I Pad though I don’t like to spend too long with it as I am afraid the battery will freeze or the cold weather will shorten the life of it.

It’s mid December and the river hasn’t frozen yet let alone little to no snow. It was still cold, but still unseasonable for Dec.

A wonderful illustrator whose work is rich in texture but at the same time very bold and graphical something rarely combined…and successful!

This is a nice little pub, Dominion on Queens, on Queen Street East in Corktown neighborhood of Toronto near my friend Eugene’s place. I like this pub as it’s very intimate and cozy and they actually have very good soup.
Table Rock, Fall colors

Oct 31, 2011 I decided to give myself another treat and do a digital sketch on top of Table Rock…
On election day, I decided to treat myself and go up for a hike on Table Rock in South Carolina. This is one of the more popular places to hike in the upstate, but on a Tuesday afternoon I found very few people. It’s a beautiful place but its a rigorous hike up as you seem to climb rocky step after rocky step. Unfortunately there is graffiti on the rocks but the hike does weed out the lazy vandals.
I did a water color sketch nearly 2 years earlier…

And the parkway looking west
I forgot what this mountain is called but you can see it clearly from the parkway lookout.

Dusk in the woods
May 11, 2011 at 2:34 pm | Posted in canada, IPAD, ontario, spring | Leave a commentI thought I would try to get a rare chance to sit in the woods without getting eaten alive with bugs. Early May is my favorite time as the Trillium are popping up in huge numbers but it’s still cool enough for most mosquitos, plus everything else isn’t in bloom so you can see far into the woods.
Spring on the Black River

The Black River flows into Lake Simcoe and this was the first real nice day up in Ontario. I sat down with the I Pad and tried to get more comfortable using Sketchbook Pro. The colors are not the greatest but I still have to figure out how to build my own pallette…the stock colors are not true to what I see, but it’s a pain going back and forth with the color picker. I wish it would be on display full time. Oh well, I will eventually get used to the tools and perhaps get better with these paintings.

Finger painting with the I-Pad
May 8, 2011 at 4:19 am | Posted in animals, IPAD | 1 CommentTags: book, ipad, pro, sketch, sketchbookpro, sketching
This is my first attempt at finger painting with the Ipad. The subject matter are my two cats, Sally and Serena. I plan on doing more observational sketches but have yet to find a pen or stylus that isn’t overly expensive but intuitive for an artist.
