Glencairn, Speyside No. 1

KOLF No. 7 GC SS No.1 (6.5 x 9.5, Graphite and ink), Greenhills Golf Course often floods in the spring, as Dingman Creek (which lies within the Thames River watershed) winds it way thought the course. On May 3rd, while Greenhills was closed due to flooding, Troy and I went to play GlenCairn Golf Course, near Milton.

This course has the beauty and spirit of a traditional Scottish golf course, complete with rock fences and extremely deep bunkers. Continuing with my series of history inspired drawings, I have an old Scottish gentleman and hole number one of the Speyside nine. Because it was so early in the season the fescue was short, making it easier to play out of the rough, but he deep pot bunkers were still as difficult as ever.... 5 sand shots on the eighteen hole alone. We won't talk about my final score. The final touch on this picture was the very faint Socttish flag.

LAA Annual Show & Sale

This past weekend was the Lambeth Art Association 37th Annual Show and Sale. Weather and attendance was great for the three day event. Many (I have not heard an official count yet) original works of art were sold, including two of mine. Both graphite and ink.


KOLF No. 4 GH 17 - This is the fourth in the KOLF series. Walking down any fairway you can sense the tradition and history of the sport. You can almost feel the presence of the likes of Bobby Jones and Babe Zaharias. The hole depicted here is Greenhill's number 17th, the first hole I birdied at his course, which make it my favourite hole at this course.


View from the Dock No. 2 - A drawing completed on location last summer while on vacation in the Muskokas, on Six Mile Lake. After seeing a black bear on route from the golf course to the cottage, I decided I should stay close to the cottage while drawing. This drawings was done while sitting on the dock directly in front of the cottage.

Golf and History

More drawings in the KOLF series. Walking down any fairway you can sense the tradition and history of the sport. You can almost feel the presence of the likes of Bobby Jones and Babe Zaharias. The hole depicted here is from Rocky Crest in the Muskokas, and KOLF No 4 was Greenhills hole 17 and KOLF No 5 is loosely based on Greenhills hole 13.
