Day 191

"Rainy Day". Art journal, watercolour  

It rained all day today at the cottage. Hence this watercolour doodle.  

Day 189

Cottage quickie sketches, art journal, ink

Another busy and tiring day doing cottage improvements, leaving little time or energy for artistic endeavours. Back to painting tomorrow! 

There is a big heron that had been hanging out in our bay lately. We watched him just a few yards from our dock, waiting and waiting then suddenly plunging into the water and flying off with a fish in his beak. 

Day 188

Art journal, ink

Absolutely pooped this evening, having spent the day laying a hardwood floor. Art-wise, all I could manage from my horizontal position on the couch was this wacky blind contour drawing of Stacey texting on her iPhone.  

Day 184

Art journal, watercolour  

Another watercolour doodle, this one inspired by the sunsets over Grand Lake, here at the cottage.

"One-minute sketches at San's"  Art journal, ink

I almost forgot to do my art of the day, I am so pooped!

Day 175: Rush Job

"Deadline Doodle"  Art journal, ink and watercolour pencils

Named for when it was done, but it also nicely depicts how I was feeling today when I was up against one (a deadline) with things not going as planned!
