Hong Kong

Mystic Manor

It’s been cold and overcast for awhile now. But not so chilly that I can’t wear extra clothes and spending an hour at lunch drawing. Disneyland is not too crowded today, so I had a clear view of Mystic Manor. I even

3 cranes and a big hole

About a block from my flat a new skyrise luxury apartment building is going up. For about a year all that existed was a bottomless hole in the ground. But now the foundation has been built up enough you can

Kung Hei Fat Choi from Bear Mountain

This is the 5th day of the new year. The park is a little crowded, but not so bad I couldn’t ?nd a place to sit and draw. Bear Mountain in Grizzly Gulch is one of my favorite places in

Jungle River Cruise, Hong Kong

Today was a beautiful day out, so I took time to wander over to Adventure Land at lunch. There were lots of tourists in the park as everyone is on holiday for Chinese New Year. I found a spot next

Comet Cafe and Clear Blue Skies

Took lunch time today to sit under the Orbitron and sketch the trees and space age landscaping. The sky was blue and clear as any sky on earth. There was a slight breeze and the temperature stayed steady at 16C.

Main Street, USA – Hong Kong, China

I managed to draw this sketch of Main Street, Hong Kong Disneyland during lunch today. I’ve set aside an hour every other Friday to draw. Now that the weather is not dangerously hot and humid enough to obscure the vision

Cool breeze and Whampoa

It’s been a long time since I drew in Hong Kong. And now that the weather has dropped below dangerous, I spent an hour sitting on the Whampoa Boardwalk and drew some of the new construction going on in Kowloon.

Harbour Grand

The Harbour Grand on Hong Kong Island is always very beautiful at sunset, catching a huge array of colors. I had some free time the last few days and finally got around to painting it. On a side note: I

MacDonnell Rd

  It’s been a long time since I’ve done a painting in Hong Kong. We’ve had hot weather warnings since the end of May and it’s been very uncomfortable. So here is one I did of MacDonnell Road from some

243 Herengracht

Was a good week. I’m heading to the airport in 10 minutes for a noon flight, but managed to get in half an hour of sketching after breakfast. I like this building. It’s a little quirky and romantic. The balconies
