Some Cool Videos and a Cautionary Tale

I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a productive week ahead. Be sure to check back here later on this week because I am going to be posting details about a giveaway that I will be hosting. I’m excited! These are some cool videos that I came across recently. I hope you enjoy […]

July Virtual Paintout

I cut it close again with this month’s Virtual Paintout. It was mainly because I was going to lots of summertime parties and cookouts on the weekends which ate into my usual art time. I had some trouble finding a view that I really liked in Hong Kong as well. I’m usually drawn to nature […]

Recent Workshops, Part One

I have a lot going on in my life right now, but I am pleased that I had a chance to take some art classes this year. I’ve already told you about the acrylic painting class that I’m taking, but I also signed up for a couple of Saturday workshops. Last week I took a […]

Developments

I barely turned on my computer all week, and I haven’t been doing much drawing because of the art classes that I’ve been taking. I know that I am making an investment in myself though, and already I feel that my knowledge has increased. Plus, I have been spending some time on the water, which has […]

Deerfield River

I hope everyone is having a nice long weekend. I am having having a very relaxing couple of days myself, by taking a little bit of a break from drawing actually. I have been taking some scenic drives in the country and watching lots of movies. Also, my laptop is having a bit of an […]

Pond View: Czech Republic VPO

I did this more than a week ago for May’s VPO and even though I do like how it came out, I kept telling myself that I was going to start over and do another version that I liked better. I have so many things that I want to paint and draw these days that I […]

Canary Islands Mountainside

Here is my offering for April’s VPO based out of the Canary Islands. I was feeling a little experimental when carrying out this piece, hence the multicolored designs all over the place. I did it on a 5 x 7 watercolor block that I found while cleaning out my art supplies a few weeks back. […]

Stavanger, Norway

This is my submission for March Virtual Paintout, which was based from Stavanger, Norway this month. What I loved about the location was the combination of green grass and blue sky found out in the more rural sections. It felt very springlike and inspiring to me. This particular view reminded me of something I might find […]

Being in Nature

It makes me a little sad that most of my glimpses of nature are marred by things like bridges. I haven’t gotten out(side) much for the past couple of months and I’m really craving it. This winter actually wasn’t that bad for New England compared to the snow that the Mid Atlantic states got, but […]

Bolinas, CA – Virtual Paintout

Shoreline Highway 1, Bolinas, CA The February location for the Virtual Paintout is the San Francisco Bay Area, to honor Google who made it all possible and celebrate the one year anniversary of the blog. I have to say that originally February’s location wasn’t horribly inspiring to me. I’ve never been to California before and […]
