a few more photos and sketches for the scrapbook. i am having trouble finding time to resolve my subject matter issue. i'm gradually improving at both photography and quick sketches which is a start.

really happy with these two. if you knew the puppies these drawings would describe them perfectly.

Streets of Richmond.
Double click on this image to see slighty more detail.
This is probably the closest sketch to the direction I want to head. My dilemma now is that the quaint cottages of Richmond Hill have been blemished with a staring, hoodied stranger. Not quiet sure what my message is.

Dog Walking Series

This sketch is the first in a series drawn from photos taken while walking the dogs. It was a cold grey sunday and we were walking from Richmond to the city to get a coffee. I thought I would start to challenge myself by adding a human element to my paintings but still try and maintain the landscape qualities. Its an interesting challenge and one that I haven't got my head around yet...
