Stella Jurgen Sketching in Vienna, Austria

I visited Vienna, Austria with my husband on July 11 to July 18.  It was wonderful!  I loved everything about Vienna so I made a few sketches while enjoying the sites.  These were made with pen and water colours on location.

A Trip to the local Marina in Port Credit, Ontario, Canada

 Today was a rainny Summer day, but that didn't stop me from going out there early morning and enjoying the warmth close to the Lake Ontario.  Here are some pencil sketches of the Marina in the Promenade Lakeshore Park.

Our Garden, Oakville, Ontario, Canada

Now it is Summer in Ontario, Canada.  When it gets hot the flowers bloom and the colours are vibrant.  This is the garden that my husband and I created.  It's ours to enjoy.  These are some watercolour sketches that I drew this weekend for you to enjoy.

My Home in Oakville, Ontario, Canada

I am certain that all of us always want to draw everything that we see.  When I travel I draw scenes, buildings, etc. but I never thought to draw my own house.  I did this yesterday, it was a sunny day in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, which we don't have too many.  I used permanent pen and water colours.  Here is the result afer 1.5 hours.  This is the vew from my front neighbour's lawn.

A visit to my in-laws backyard

There are so many things we can draw.  The possibilities are endless.  I visited my in-laws backyard and I loved the fall scene.  The trees and fresh air makes for a relaxing afternoon.  Most of the time I travel with a sketch book and a pencil.  On the pictures below I set up my easel and used my oil paints on a canvas.
