This is a photograph of a coastal scene from the point of view on top of the hillside. In the photo you can also see a sketchbook that's painted the same scene. The painting is a watercolour that has been done loosely. The majority of the painting is the sky.

River ride 🐇🌿

Gouache painting of a couple of white bunnies floating through a river in the woods on a giant leaf. One of the bunnies is punting them forward with a stick. The river is calm and reflective, and the forest is green with the stem of a dark tree and white spring flowers in the foreground.

Last week was tough for me, so on one of my worse days I dragged myself to the park for another nature study. I practiced once more with my viewfinder to improve on my issues with scale.

I didn’t feel much better after, but gradually my symptoms improved with a few days time.

A hand holds a small sketchbook with a watercolor sketch on the right side featuring the thick trunk and large splitting branches of an old oak tree. The tree itself is in the background.

The right side of the sketchbook has notes about the painted image. September 2025.
