Logbook // Next entry

A new idea is taking shape.

Still working out the details, still searching for the right balance between maritime symbols and the stories they can tell.

Some ideas need time before they find their final form.

A rough nautical illustration sketch of a cat sitting beside a coiled rope and a maritime object. Red pencil construction lines and loose graphite strokes on aged parchment, showing an early stage of the creative process.

The Compass Keeps Its Secrets
He trusts the compass, though he has a few complaints about its judgment.

A richly textured vertical portrait depicts an elderly pirate aboard a mist-shrouded sailing ship. His hunched figure fills the center and right side, with his head tilted forward and his stern gaze directed toward the viewer. Deep wrinkles crease his forehead and cheeks. Wispy gray hair fans outward above bushy eyebrows, and a tangled gray beard surrounds his tightly downturned mouth. A small, round brass-rimmed lens rests beneath the eye on the viewer’s left.
He wears a battered dark teal coat with an oversized raised collar, tarnished gold edging, decorative buttons, and ragged cuffs that expose pale, shredded lining. Beneath it are a faded buttoned waistcoat and a loosely gathered dark scarf. One weathered hand grips the fabric near his chest. The other extends into the lower-right foreground, presenting an open brass compass with its hinged lid upright. A broad metal ring circles one finger.
Blurred ropes, rigging, and ship structures rise behind him through cool blue-gray haze. A glowing amber lantern near the lower-left corner provides a small pool of warmth against the predominantly dark teal palette. Fine detail in the skin, fraying cloth, corroded metal, and stray hairs gives the portrait a tactile, weather-beaten appearance.

A hand-drawn maritime illustration on aged parchment: a skull rests on the seafloor among coral, rocks and long sea plants, surrounded by muted blue-green water. Warm red and ochre tones contrast with the dark ink outlines.

A ship, a pen, an anchor.
Three things that keep coming back.

This is where the symbol started to become a world.

Still drawing. Still sailing.

#Watercolor #Painting

#Sunset #GoldenHour

A watercolor painting of a two-masted wooden sailboat with rust-orange sails, positioned in the center, glides on calm blue water, set against a watercolor background of a colorful sunset blending shades of yellow, pink, and light blue. In the foreground, several stylized, grey figures sit within the boat's brown hull, looking out towards the right. Dark silhouettes of trees are visible on the horizon line in the distance, both to the left and right. The artwork is on a piece of paper with a visible watercolor paper texture, placed on a light-colored wooden table. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive throughout.

Another quilt just listed on my Etsy shop. I call this one "variation on dawn-III" part of a series of works where I played with a theme to let my imagination go wild. What do you think? #etsy #artquilts #dawn #quiltstudio #landscapeart

An original art quilt with the sun rising from the distant green hills into the sky alive with colors of the dawn. Beneath the water sparkles with the light. 23 by 40 inches #nauticalart #beachhouse

LOGBOOK // 05

The shape is starting to hold.
After all the rough lines, I’m finally putting the idea into ink.
A ship. A pen nib. An anchor at the heart of it.
Not the final mark.
But now it feels like Ink Sails.
Still sailing.

My latest painting from the Ozark Lakeside Studio — an 18 × 36 oil on canvas featuring Charlevoix’s Belvidere Club and the historic former USCGC *Sundew* returning to her old home waters.

#Charlevoix #MichiganArt #oilpainting #Art #nauticalart

Colorful impressionistic oil painting of Charlevoix, Michigan, looking across the Belvidere Club boathouses and Round Lake toward the East Channel. The historic former USCGC *Sundew* travels across the water beneath a vivid sunset sky, surrounded by sailboats, docks, trees, and waterfront buildings.

The shape is becoming clearer.

Now I’m trying to make the sails feel alive — not just drawn, but moving with the wind.

The ship is becoming a pen.
The pen is becoming a ship.

Still drawing. Still sailing
