Paintings (and drawings) - Summer 2025

 I took a few courses over the summer at the Vancouver Island School of Art, to warm myself up for my full-time studies in the fall.

A pencil and ink sketch of McKergow Meadows in Vernon, BC:


An abstract rendition of Sonya's garden:


Memories of my recent Tanzania safari (watercolour and ink):


A slightly imagined view from my home office (I call this one "InFill"):


Scenes from a crowd watching a parade (pencil drawing from a photo, probably from the 1970's):


Leon from BladeRunner, after he's just seen his partner "retired":


View of Kings Cove, Newfoundland:


An imagined view of the new development near my place in Vic West (acrylic):


More imagined gardens:


Painting of a paper collage, in the style of Jack Witton:


And finally a couple of portraits of my one and only houseplant (which I've kept alive for about 4 years now):
