watercolour

Channelling my inner Trekkie, as it says on the tin here...

I've been absent from the site for months, due to working on a book. But now that I have a bit of spare time, I've been dabbling in watercolours, something I haven't done in years. A bit rough to start but I'm enjoying it.

This is a deeply personal expression for a life well lived but no longer with us.

I painted the Los Angeles skyline as it radiated through the clouds and haze.

When I didn’t know what to paint while hiking, I closed in on a random spot to appreciate the shadows and tree branches of nature’s real-life camo

While painting this in Santa Monica, I got surrounded by a panel of art experts: https://tiktok.com/t/ZP8jk8RsV/

Somewhere out there are a bunch of butterflies having a conversation about whether they've ever landed on a human, and one of them says "Yeah, it's an acquired taste."

Drawn with brown ink and watercolours.

I've drawn these using Lukas watercolours and an ink brush pen.

I had a brief obsession with painting bees.

Watercolour on A4 watercolour paper. This was so much fun to paint, and it reminds me of holidays at my grandparents' house in Greece when I was a teenager.

Watercolour and the tiniest bit of coloured pencil and acrylic marker on watercolour paper. Size A4. Done with negative painting technique. This was inspired by a figure found in a Kinder egg from my daughter. It seems to be common sense these days to scan and fix your artwork digitally before posting it on any social media. I don't do that. I kind of like the little (or bigger) imperfections in my work, and I also believe that uploading traditional work that has been digitally fixed gives people the idea that such perfect pictures can be achieved in a traditional way.

Remembering a gentler time when an oil change came with a can coozie.

Watercolour of a bee on lavender, made as a wedding card for a friend.

One of my butterfly paintings I did for practice last week. Forgot to erase some of the pencil marks, but it still looks nice :)
