Sketching my coffee, I couldn’t resist the long shadows!

Sketched from a rooftop garden — Tokyo Tower in the distance.

A gasshou roof house from Shirakawa-go that was relocated to Kawasaki, and then re-relocated to Nihon Minka-en, a gorgeous open air museum of traditional Japanese houses from around the country. It’s a stellar museum, beautifully landscaped.

From October 2024, Azabudai Hills in Tokyo. #urbansketching #urbansketchers #usktokyo

Had an amazing zoom with some amazing people tonight, and I am refreshed and ready to protect joy with defiance.

I did not sketch or paint for six whole days while I was skiing, but if I had, it would have been mostly snow on snow.

Looking for our car after the blizzard required full ski gear — but we found it!

Free!

“Cat pics” is usually good.

Odawara Castle at sunset.

Something about the Cotman sap green just sings for me, and it’s not in the WS professional version.
I’m a big fan of DS Moonglow if you are looking for another color.

Thank you for your dedication to community health! And yes to all stationery!

Snow on trees at Madarao Kogen, Japan

This is the third time I’ve sketched Zojoji Temple with Tokyo Tower in the background. The multicolored banners and decorations were for New Years celebrations, and the family crest of the Tokugawa shogunate (of the book/movie “Shogun” fame) is the detail.

Finally adding some color to my December sketch of the ginkgo trees from the window of the Toyota dealer. They put my snow tires on my car before I had a chance to finish drawing the bus or to add any color to the gorgeous trees. #usktokyo #urbansketching #urbansketchers

Yes, maybe? Not all of my posts are urban sketching. You can decide! Based in Tokyo.
