I’ve been enjoying going once a week with a sketching club to sketch various locations in Perth, ON. We only live 30 minutes away from one of the most picturesque towns in the province, so we’re very fortunate to be able to have lots of locations to choose from. Here are few of my sketches from the past few weeks.
Let’s pretend I’m not a year late posting these plein air sketches that I did when Joel and I went to Belgium last year. What a great trip it was! Beer, gauffres, coupes brésiliennes (Google it), art history, war history, castles…amazing. Unfortunately it was tough to sketch outdoors because it was a)colder than expected and b)quite rainy. We did our best though.
Joel and I recently rented a campervan and toured around the Westfjords and a bit of the north of Iceland. We had a fun trip, but the weather was definitely not conducive to plein air sketching (rain and gale-force winds) but we managed to get four paintings in regardless.

Joel and I finally had the chance to go back to one of our favourite destinations: England! We spent two weeks there in total, the first 5 days in London and the next 10 days touring the New Forest then heading into Dorset, the Jurassic Coast and ending up in Lyme Regis. We were excited to get back into plein air sketching again (it’s always more fun when you’re on a trip).
We had an absolutely amazing time! We had two weeks of sun and beautiful spring weather. It did us a world of good 🙂

I was very glad that the Westport Public Library thought of me to help illustrate and re-design their new library card. It warmed the cockles of my booklover heart. I wanted to pay homage to the resident swans in our local lake here.
