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.

Carnegie Centre Vancouver

Andrew Carnegie made a fortune in the US steel industry and then used it for many philanthropical projects including building libraries, such as this one in east Vancouver, now a community centre.
