Itβs interesting how different mountains can look, depending on time of day or season. This one is a view along the Icefields Parkway. Ink and watercolours. #natureart #mountainart
Draw More! π¨π¦ππ¨π

Love to draw (especially mountains), eclectic interests, strange sense of humour. I try to capture the way light and shadow reveal images.
My favourite castle in Canada. Casa Loma in Toronto. Ink and watercolour.
Excellent corvids!πππ
It is the penultimate day of #ArtRepostJuly! Today's theme is #BlackAndWhite I follow a lot of amazing artists who excel in this one! One of my best is probably this drawing of the 4 corvids in my book Roadkill who have the last word (laugh?) on humanity. #BirdArt #B&WArt

Another piece of scrap cardboard sacrificed to portrait practice. Too hot to do much besides drawing!π₯΅
Have you ever visited Niagara Falls? I used to find it hypnotic to watch the water roar over the lip of the falls. I wondered what ever drove those people who rode over the falls in barrelsβ¦but itβs a frighteningly alluring view. #niagarafalls #natureart #watercolour
I have been watching that knitting competition show - I never learned to knit, so itβs kind of magical to me. Inspired me to draw βKnit one, purr twoβ though.
The best known bear (arguably) in Banff National Park is the βBossβ, my subject for fur practice today. #banffnationalpark #bearart
I couldnβt resist using a scrap piece of cardboard to try a little larger scale drawing. This is Moraine Lake (about 70 cm wide and 40 cm tall). #banff
Looking to the left of the glacier, I think theyβre called Mount Athabasca and Mount Andromeda. Watercolours. #IcefieldsParkway #mountainart #nature
I went back to the sparrow drawing to play with some colour washesβ¦rainy day amusement. #birdart #natureart
Welcome Weekend! Had to draw Castle Mountain again this week, just for the fun of it. #mountainart #natureart #Banff
We see so many birds in our backyard this spring. In addition to sparrows, chickadees, blue jays and finches, we get a northern flicker now and then. He loves to peck at the vents on the roofs, which sounds like a machine gun inside!
I donβt think Iβve heard of anyone claiming a fish as a spirit animal. Hmmm. (Pigment pen drawing) #natureart #fish
Rocks after rain (or the rocks and the hard places I spend so much time inπ€ͺ). Pen and watercolour washes.
I think I prefer colour washing over ink drawings, but this one is just watercolours. #CanadianRockies #mountainart #natureart
A watercolour practice sheet done today, Plus an ink drawing version done from the same photo many moons ago. Castle Taufers in Italy, if I remember correctly. #watercolourart #castleart
Been a busy week, so yesterday I grabbed a pen and piece of paper and proceeded to soothe my mind, for a short while. Best therapy Iβve found. #natureart #rocks
Mount Yamnuska in Alberta, drawn with pigment pen and watercolour washes. #mountainart #wolfdogs #inkart

Another feather practice ink drawingβ¦the gem thief!
We have lost a great artist and a personal inspiration of mine, the incomparable Drew Struzan. The light in his illustrations was exquisite and his movie posters are iconic.
Mourning the passing of illustrator Drew Struzan.
Illustration of a sulfur-crested cockatoo based on Julyβs Bird Whisperer reference image. Looking forward to seeing all your cockatoos!
