"Pooh Studies #1 & 2"

 

I've long enjoyed the illustrations of Ernest Shepard in the "Winnie-the-Pooh" books. The way he can depict a scene with a few simple and well-placed lines is amazing. So I decided to copy a few of his paintings and learn from the master, much like the way art is taught in European schools.

"Detectorists #2"

 

A beautiful scene from one of my favorite tv shows of all time!

"Pooh & Friends"

 

Another take on Pooh and his pals. This time with watercolors.

"Stylish Lizzie"

 I haven't done a painting of my cat in a while. So I thought I'd do a loose watercolor of her. I think it turned out okay, except the eyes look a little weird. 

 

"Pooh Party"

 

This is the gang from Winnie-the-Pooh, on display at the New York Public Library. I'm a huge Pooh fan, and will definitely have to visit the library the next time I'm in NYC. 

"Steel Away"

 

Another steel mill. This time it's one spewing smoke into the air. 

I can't imagine living anywhere near this one!

"Big Red"

 

Haven't done a steel mill in a while. I just love the sheer majesty of these old structures. 

"Cape Cod Light"

 

A beautiful classic lighthouse. Reminds me a bit of a Hopper painting. 

"Dover's Soul"

 

A beautiful stretch of the English coastline.

"Iceland"

 

A striking scene I found on the net. Some day 

I'll visit this incredible country. Definitely on my bucket  list!
