I like how this little white dog below turned out. He looks a lot like Snowy from the Tintin comics.<br />

It's been bitter cold recently, and it's been nice to stay inside and work on these. Both of these were fun paintings. Dog eyes are fun to paint, and both of these little dogs have very expressive eyes.<br />
<br />I've uploaded a good amount of new pet portraits from the last couple months to my <a href="http://www.dswatercolors.com/" target="_blank">dswatercolors.com</a> gallery. Lots of new cats and dogs. You can check them out here: <a href="http://www.dswatercolors.com/gallery/pet-commissions" target="_blank">Pet commission gallery</a><br />

My walk in the woods the other day was very muddy - fun but exhausting. Lots of birds out and animal prints in the mud. Below, a raccoon track.<br />

<br />
A new watercolor and ink illustration. This one is of a little boathouse on Vinalhaven island off the coast of Maine. We took the ferry out to the island very early, and hit some dense patches of fog, which was very pretty. Large tidal areas and little spits of land full of pines. Lots of lobster fishing here, a good percentage of the island's population are lobstermen.<br /><br />It's fun drawing complex subjects in this style. Landscapes are an interesting challenge. This one is 11x14", on the larger side for me.<br />

I'm starting to get back into the swing of things after a bit of a break
after the busy Holiday season. Lots to paint and draw. For now here is a
new owl illustration. A Barn Owl portrait for my <a href="http://100owls.com/" target="_blank">100 owls</a> project.<br />

<br />A new illustration of the Northern Lights and an Arctic Fox. I tend to work pretty fast, but was one of those pieces that stayed in the studio for a while. It took a bit of work to get the sky looking right.<br /><br />The Northern Lights remind me of Christmas, so the idea was always for this one to be a Christmas Card.<br /> <br />

<br />We also found wild Orchids. I've wanted to see them in the wild since I became interested in plants, so seeing these was a highlight. I didn't even know they grew this far north.<br />

So I added a couple new things to the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/100owls" target="_blank">100 Owls Shop</a>. <br /><br />The first is a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/109460468/barn-owl-and-haystacks-illustration-5x7" target="_blank">Barn Owl print</a>. This one has a field full of haystacks and a starry sky. Haystacks are quite fun to draw.<br />

So this one has been a long time coming, partly for that reason but also because I think they are such neat animals. Not the easiest creature to draw though, this one took a lot of sketching.<br />
I was very pleased finishing this one up, but my wife thought something was missing (she usually has the final look over stuff). I agreed (though reluctantly, since it is always nerve wracking to add stuff at that point). After some contemplating the palm trees became a little last minute addition. <br />

I don't think Tintin is a typical black cat. His fluffy, shorter than average tail sticks straight up most of the time. He loves to eat lettuce. He knows his own name and, like any good cat, enjoys finding amusing places to nap. He also likes to do (hilarious) somersaults and slowly amble around like a miniature bear.<br />

I guess this illustration might be coming a bit late in the year, but I'm just getting in the mood for the beach. I'm taking a late summer vacation at the beach in a few weeks. I love going to the shore late in the summer. It's a nice time of year there and there are a lot of neat birds around. I always get in the mood to go birding when I am out there. <br />
This is a illustration I finished up yesterday of an American Oystercatcher. It is a larger shorebird and has a bright orange beak and eye ring. I drew this one at the shore line with starfish and sea urchins, where you often see them wading for oysters and mussels and such. <br /><br />

A Chesapeake Bay illustration seemed overdue, since i do live nearby. This is Thomas Point Shoal Light, near Annapolis. It is a screwpile, a quintessential Chesapeake lighthouse. Accompanied by some other common Bay sights... sailboats, gulls, jellyfish
and a crab. <br />

A little series of colorful moths would be fun, don't you think? <br />
