Here we are fresh and ready for the 14 hour flight direct to Cape Town! We were so happy to arrive at our beautiful home for the next few days, the Winchester Hotel, just across the Atlantic. It’s the end of summer here, and of course Ron wasted no time jumping straight into the pool. Naturally, I had to draw him.

I drew this in my sketchbook while standing on a curb in Tallinn, Estonia. Most often, my sketchbook pages remain in my sketchbook but this is just one of the ones that I had to recreate larger! It looks and feels the same as my impromptu drawing while on location because I used a bamboo dip pen to create drip and blobs and unexpected marks on this larger version.

As I was creating Almost Daily Videos. I asked my family for some ideas of what to draw and paint next. My niece, Cameron, requested a unicorn. Since I was still in my ‘camel’ phase, I made it a camel unicorn, a.k.a. Camelcorn!

Gelli prints. I am just beginning to explore this fun printmaking technique. The best way to learn how to do it is to do it! So I am doing many and making plenty of mistakes! But mistakes mean I am trying! I love being a beginner!

This is the camel that started my camel painting series. 🐪

He was such a great model that I took tons of reference photos in different poses. This piece is fairly large for me, about 18×24 on Bristol board. I began with watercolor pencils (determined to finally love them!), but halfway through realized they’re better suited to smaller work… so I switched back to my watercolor palette.

You can still see the blue underdrawing, which helped influence those colorful shadows. Shadows are often far more colorful than we think. Next time you notice one, take a closer look. Or exaggerate it a little, like I did.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Ireland holds such special memories for me. First, touring with Ron many years ago, and later returning on a painting trip. So many greens, so many sheep, and some of the friendliest people anywhere.

This painting is a little piece of those beautiful Irish memories. If it speaks to you, feel free to reach out. I’d love for it to find a good home.
