A nice church building in Palm Beach

This building is part of the parish of St. Edward in Palm Beach.

One of many beautiful buildings in the area.

Drawing in Florida

While in vacation it's hard to paint in oils. I brought my pochade box but it's still very time consuming.

I do however carry my sketchbook and a few pens. So I'll post some work from my time here in Florida.

Boats in East Rockaway, New York

I bumped into this while I was at the pool with my niece and nephew. It was nice and quiet, just how I like my landscapes, so I painted it. It felt good to paint again, I am definitely slacking, but other things have kept me busy. I have been productive, just not art productive. Of course, as usual, I am trying to change that. 

Building for rent

Nice building for rent in Rockville Centre, NY.

 I'm finally getting to the end of my latest sketchbook. I usually complete these much faster, but this one has taken me quite some time. Slowly but surely I'll get there.

Finally a painting

So for Father's Day my family went to my older brother's house. We hung out there all day, so I got to spend time with my niece and nephew. I brought along my Watercolors so I could try to do a sketch. So I took the kids outside and we all sat in the backyard and I painted the garage and they were making Father's Day cards. It's been too long, but I'm glad I'm back to painting. Graduate school has really taken a lot of my time. Now I'm on break until the fall and I'll be posting/painting much more often.

A little bit of Montreal

It's been a while since I posted, but in my defense graduate school is super time consuming. I am definitely not drawing or painting much these days, which is sad. I did get to take a trip to Montreal and Vermont over my spring break. I did a painting in Vermont and I did a few sketches in Montreal. I had much more planned out for Canada (as far as drawing goes) but the weather had other ideas. The first day I was in Montreal the weather was nice and sunny, so I did a little sketching (and it felt awesome). The next few days however were much much colder, and it rained, it snowed and there was definitely some hail as well. So no drawing outside. I did visit the Museum of Fine Arts of Montreal and I did a little drawing. The museum is beautiful, and it is a whole complex of 5 or  6 buildings that are connected by underground tunnels, which are crucial for those cold snowy days. So without further ado here are two of my sketches from my trip. Both are in Montreal, one is the church of St.George and the second is a view of the cathedral and some of the buildings that surround it. All in all my trip was excellent. The weather didn't hinder me much, only in drawing but otherwise I saw everything I planned to see and I did everything I planned on doing. So if you have a chance to visit Montreal you should do so. It's a very beautiful and lively city. I will post some photos of my trip as well as perhaps make a long overdue post about a secret hobby of mine.
