I know this paper isn't good for water-based media, but I wanted to express emotions and it did the job — that's what sketchbooks are for!

Drawing is of a rose-like pattern of curved triangles, some blue-grey, some red-grey, folding circularly into each other again and again until reaching a hollow black center with a singular blue-grey sphere. The outermost curved triangle touches tips with a white curved triangle that has no color on it. 2026 fitotelmata all rights reserved.

A drawing of inky blackness only interrupted by bulbuous shapes that look something like red algae, or slime molds, or molten wax. They cut diagonally through the center of the piece, nestle in the bottom left corner, curl in on themselves in the bottom right corner, and hang loosely in the top right corner. Sometimes they are branchlike, sometimes they look like puzzle pieces. Not for AI training datasets of any kind. fito telmata 2026 all rights reserved

A small abstract landscape consisting of a dimensional, pale web and darker grey spheres. A very mild trick of perspective makes it hard to tell if the spheres and spheroids are embedded in, suspended in, or behind the web. Water-soluble graphiteu, various tints, on white paper.

Petrie's Barn in water soluble graphite and broadstroke pencil. The scene is from an instructional book that I love, "Drawing Landscapes in Pencil" by Ferdinand Petrie, that I picked up 30 or so years ago 😮

East Dover NS. This time I added a shack in the middle, and switched the light so it is coming from the right (west)... so... sunset! 🍷

Sweet treats and a handful of nuts. Top left a cream topped ginger cake on a blue saucer; centre top a marzipan, stem ginger topped petit four in dark brown, frilled paper case; to the right a chocolate rum truffle in pink paper case, bottom right corner - un-cracked brazil nuts and almonds. All are positioned near their watercolour, water soluble graphite, brown pen versions.
A gentle return to online teaching @artistinresidence.co between holidays - demo' drawings of some of the delicious homemade Christmas goodies I was given.

Lighthouse overlooking New London Bay, PEI ❤️. Not sure what it's real name is... New London or Yankee Hill lighthouse. Done in ink and water soluble graphite.
