The drawing above was half completed in pen on August 11, the day I left Revelstoke, and I added colour to it today, Sunday August 14, after arriving back in Adelaide yesterday morning. We set off for Kelowna on the … Continue reading

Sketchaday 23: a Chinese kind of morning and a traditional Canadian evening treat
I woke at 5.30 to a misty moisty morning after overnight rain. I knew I’d see a completely different world to yesterday’s at the same time of day. The mountains were barely visible at first between the clouds, but they … Continue reading

#Sketchaday 22: up, down and almost over the mountain
I managed to get up at 5.45am this morning and returned to the same scene that I drew yesterday, this time attempting a watercolour. After an hour I felt I had done enough as the light was changing too quickly. … Continue reading

#Sketchaday 20: taking a break from the renovations
The renovations built up to a frenzy today as we sanded, painted and then finally started laying a new floor in the basement spare room. Work had to stop over lunch while Leo took a snooze in his father’s arms. … Continue reading
