My series of watercolor winter scenes is in full swing. Love my studio but it’s missing one thing...a studio cat.

Playing in the studio again today. Fire going and a fresh pot of coffee. My favorite kind of day.

Sketched from a closed car window and very cold outside. On the way to Stowe, Vermont. A quick sketch, a few research pix and I’m ready to start a new Watercolor painting.

Starting a new watercolor painting today. Here is my rough sketch, hopefully working out all the possible errors in advance. This sketch sets the mood, composition and palette to be used.

A thought for today’s watercolor painting. Perhaps a few deer prints in the forefront.

A few trees out back. Quick sketches using an old Altoid tin fitted with White Nights watercolor blocks. A water brush is needed for alfresco.

I always have some watercolors with me and a water pen. Safari jacket with lots of pockets a must.

I remember sitting for a few hours sketching Tower Bridge in London, with a thermos of black coffee and a good cigar. Just a few seagulls for company.

Here’s an old tree out back in the woods here in Connecticut. Such character.

I’m starting a new watercolor painting. Here is my small prelim sketch in my daily sketchbook to work out the details. Quite a few mistakes here, which I will correct in the final larger painting. Adding either couple or kids making a snowman.

Here’s the Lisbon Arch using just squiggles and scratches, no actual details. A fun way of sketching...what I feel as opposed to what I see.
