Muskoka Golf

Sketchbook Page ~ Rocky Crest
The inner organizational freak started to take over and I started to draw my grid of nine holes before I got to the golf course, so that I could neatly capture the front nine on one page and back nine on the next page. The other change is using brown ink with coloured pencil. Some sketched on location and some sketched later from ipad photos.

"Rocky Crest Golf Club celebrates the natural features of the Canadian Shield in Ontario’s Muskoka region and was designed by Thomas McBroom."

Sketchbook Page ~ Lake Joseph Club
"In 1997, The Lake Joseph Club caused jaws to drop around the golf world. Architect Thomas McBroom utilized the granite crags, towering trees and heaving topography of the incomparable Muskoka vacation region north of Toronto with such success that the course was named the best new course in the country by Golf Digest."

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.
