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.

Stella Jurgen Sketching in Myrtle Beach, U.S.A.

Hi from Stella Jurgen.  During Easter our family decided to take a road trip to a warmer place.  In Canada the winter is very long, so we drove to South Carolina, U.S.A. to enjoy the warmth for a couple of days.  A trip to Myrtle Beach helped me relax and enjoy the beach weather.
