Currently in artistic development and exploration, so these days I mostly repost other people’s watercolour paintings. However, I will sometimes reluctantly share the odd drawing or painting of my own

Wachtkamer, Haarlem Centraal. Direct Watercolor. 20"x16", 140lb. Arches Cold Press.

#directwatercolor #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #aquarel #aquarela #art
Watercolor painting of a cafe on the platform area of the Haarlem Centraal train station in Haarlem, Netherlands. A large stone building sets along a platform below a bright gray sky, exposing structural beams. On the left of the building is a gated, Arches entry to the old 3rd class seating area - the upstairs windows darked and lightly reflecting back the sky. To the right is a wooden and glass encased facade to a cafe. Arched dark mahogany windows and doors open to a brightly lit interior in orange and yellow, its upper windows are bright in reflection of the gray sky. Before the blue and gray stone facade is a tiled, purple and dark gray platform for travelers to stand.

Stay warm x
The north wind doth blow,
And we shall have snow,
And what will the puffin do then, Poor thing?
With his back to the storm
He'll keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing, Poor thing!

Happy Thursday x

Dusk on Loppemstraat, Bruges. Direct Watercolor. 12"x9", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

#directwatercolor #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #aquarel #aquarela #art
Watercolor painting of a side street off Oude Burg in Bruges, Belgium. A dusk sky in cool blue-purple is suspended above a cobbled stoned alley lit by bright yellow street lamps lining the buildings on the right. The light is cast against the facades lining the street and falling lightly on a parked car sitting cozily on the sidewalk. The building in the background has an arched garage below a set of windows.

Sunrise on Calle Cruz de Quirós, Granada. Direct Watercolor. 20"x16", 140lb Arches Cold Press.

#directwatercolor #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #aquarel #aquarela #art
Watercolor painting of a sunrise along Calle Cruz de Quirós in Granada, Spain. A clear, bright sun hits the windowless facades of stacked, cement buildings - below a bright blue sky and above a cobbled, winding street drenched in purple shadows. The sunlight covers the buildings in the center of the scene as crooked angles make up apartment buildings climbing to the right in deep morning shadow.

Well, this is possibly the only watercolour I like from the last fifty I made. Yikes. Well, this is what happens when you get pigheaded about keeping on using a palette that doesn’t really work (except here)
