Summertime sketching, picking out little known gems of the portuguese countryside. This is a bell tower of an enormous church in the town of Azurara, south of the city of Villa do Conde, through the River Ave. Turns out most of the building is hidden by woods. . . . #topographicalart #penandink #pentelbrushpen #sketchbook #urbansketchers #portugal #azurara #viladoconde #belltower #oldarchitecture #church #drawingoftheday #artstagram #monochromeart https://www.instagram.com/p/B0t6Rqalt-Y/?igshid=hqec9lccyczt

No way!! I got some surprising news this evening 😁 This painting has Won the People’s Choice Award!! in the most recent exhibition at the North Taranaki Arts Society. Such an honour! Thank you so much to all the visitors to the exhibition(and lots of our WOMAD visitors) who chose to nominate my piece out of so many exceptional works. Scroll through to see, first 3 images are detail photos, zoom in to see the CRAZY amount of detail I worked into this piece. Last photo is the whole painting. It is all inspired by topographical maps of Taranaki . #jonimurphyarts . . . #watercolourartist #watercolourflorals #joninzart #earthymurphyarts #earthymurphy #design #drawing #topographical #topographicalart #watercolor #watercolour #watercolourart #ink #art #artistsofinstagram #artists_network #topographic #taranaki #taranakilikenoother #mttaranaki #abstract #abstractart (at Joni Artist - Paintings & Illustration)
