More from my sketchbook and my "sketch what's in front of me" series in the same hotel bar near #Haxby, #York, #England in early December.
Artwise had a no mojo summer.

My Art 🎨
Again I used permanent black pens, a water-soluble black calligraphy marker and a water brush pen with some of the black marker giving off green tints instead of grey. Depicts my view from the quiet seating area in the hotel bar, 2 tables along from last time, through a different doorway to the other end of the main hotel bar. The edge of the mantelpiece on the right goes out of the picture to span a fireplace and join up on the left of yesterday's picture.

Don't often recommend external links, let alone poems within them, but this one is great and worthy!

I particularly like The Golden Fleece

Facebook has reminded me that on 17th December 2022 I passed the milestone of 10 million views on Flickr. This year the number is over 12 million. Thanks all for showing an interest in drawings mostly of old stuff. Here's some of the "most interesting" examples.

#ArchirecturalIllustration
#drawing
Drawing of an old pub with a brick and stone facade featuring wide windows on the upper floors and a broad arch over smaller windows and doorway on the lower floor. The pub sign features a hanging sheep to match the name of The Golden Fleece. Pencil drawing of a street leading towards a cathedral which can be seen in the background. Drawing of a cathedral with a crowd of people near the entrance and statue of a seated figure. Drawing of a three storey timber framed building.

Original autumn landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Autumn Mini No. 2503" 4"x4" oil on Ampersand Gessobord (2025). The painting shows a dense autumn landscape with a creek running through it. There is bright yellow light in a blue sky, and colors from the sky and trees are reflecting in the creek.

Day 6

I Remember One Summer

This was about piecing together a memory of summer days into paper and paint and colour.
It's small, just postcard-sized but has a lot of texture packed in there.

#art #paintings #artists #artcollectors #brushstrokes #painters
Postcard-sized abstract landscape painting on heavy card, with richly textured paintwork and paper collage elements. Mainly painted in pale blue/green and peachy orange colours. The painting sits against a white background.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 17

One of the few watercolors I've ever done, when I was an art student in Vienna 5 decades ago, and a poem I wrote about this place decades later
A watercolor painting showing a vista of brownish hills, with a castle ruin emerging from behind the nearest one. The handwritten legend says Alexandra Nelson 11-75 in the lower left and "Raueneck before the snow" in the lower right Home I sit in the weeds My back against sun-warmed stone. Tilting my head, I can see tree tops waving above the tower edge and two swallows wheeling against the blue sky You can see where there used to be a floor or maybe a gallery for musicians or a maid stopping to rest and gape at the grandeur below and above that, certainly, of course, a roof instead of tree tips and swallows and sky I sat down here, tired from the climb up the steep mountain path from the Schloss in the valley after touring the public rooms ornate and cordoned, with their discrete signs humble-bragging “Maria-Theresa hat hier geschlaffen.” I think there are offices, too, and maybe an old soldiers home or a cookery school in the hundreds of rooms. And who knows, perhaps a Prince still, supported by the tourists and the salarymen and the soldiers in his 7-room flat at the back of the palace. His ancestor danced in this weedy hall and climbed to the top of this tower looking out over the walls knowing that he owned everything he could see. This stone is getting cool now and I still have to get back down the mountain to the hotel. I think it was once the hunting lodge.
