The Shack, Star Island

Pell house "The Shack" on Star Island (Isle of Shoals) pen & ink on 20" x 20" paper. Watercolor comes next. Loads of technical mistakes on this (some of which I frustratingly can't not-see whenever I look at it) but just as much learning from those errors to apply to another one. "Hang in there, little kitty!" More from Star Island.

Sketchbook watercoloring

I got to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden yesterday and while there wasn't that much in bloom - there was still some cool stuff to see (and smell). Either this (below) wasn't labeled correctly or I wasn't aligning the label near the correct plant, but this Caricature plant (Graptophyllum pictum) was delicious.
