Coco Taxi - Varadero, Cuba

One of the most memorable things about Cuba, right here! So cool!

Seattle Public Library finger painting

I forgot my stylus on my trip to Seattle (d'oh!!!!)...but the beauty of the ipad is that you can use your finger.  So, this is a finger painting (value only) of the view of Seattle Public Library from my hotel room. Fun!

Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church spire

I got to a meeting on Main Street a little early a while back, and decided to make the best of my time by sketching something. I always ride my bike by the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church on 10th Ave. and always said I'd have to sketch that one day.....well, this was my opportunity!  I think a colour version is in order, though. This drawing does a decent job of capturing the form of the spire but the material palette on the building is the most engaging to me.....something I found out (too late) after drawing this, of course. Oh well...next time!

Vancouver sunset in Grandview-Woodland

A super quick colour study attempting to capture those wonderful dark-cloud-low-sunset evenings in early spring. It's one of my favorite local natural phenomena that happens pretty regularly, given the frequency of the rains.  Anyhow, this is Grandview-Woodland, near Clark Park.

Building Projection, Nob Hill, San Francisco

Earlier this year, I had to wonderful opportunity to go to San Francisco, for the first time since I was a child.  Needless to say, I loved it in every way! The weather was gorgeous, making it easy to do a lot of biking and walking......and sketching, or course. Here is an ipad sketch of a building projection in Nob Hill. I wanted to pick up the subtle colour shifts from surface to surface.

Dollar Mill Ruins, North Vancouver

Just a quick digital sketch of the Dollar Mill Ruins at the foot of Sea Shell Lane, near Deep Cove. I chose an unconventional worm's eye point of view to make it imposing. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Kids love running around and within it!

Bolivar province, Ecuador

My apologies for being negligent with my contributions, All.  Busy times!  I have a ton of sketches sitting here that I'll try to post more frequently.

Regardless, I recently went to visit family in Ecuador where I did quite a bit sketching and digital studies. This is a quick ipad study of the landscape in province of Bolivar, near Guaranda. I wanted to capture the tapestry-like quality of the the fields. Beautiful stuff....
