A view of Dublin's skyline from the Gravity Bar at the Guinness Storehouse. A fairly overcast day, so tough to get some dramatic shadows, but nonetheless a fantastic overview of the city.

I recently came across the works of Thomas Schaller, a watercolor artist based in Los Angeles. These are couple of quick sketches in tribute to his work. He is extremely talented at his representation of light as it falls across the subjects of the paintings. Original works can be seen at his website at <a href="http://thomasschaller.com/">http://thomasschaller.com</a><br />

A wet day, but that hasn't stopped the shoppers and cafe dwellers. Just pop open an umbrella and you're ready to go. Grafton Street is a dynamic, well-scaled, and enjoyable walk-street to stroll along.

The rolling hills of patchwork farmer's fields in County Kerry make for one of the most aesthetically pleasant views in the world. With brooding dark skies and a ray of sunshine here or there, the vistas from a hill-top road are breath-taking; a perfect combination of natural and man-made landscape.

If you ever take the wonderful opportunity to visit the historical village of Adare in County Limerick, be sure to visit the beautiful thatched-roof cottages. If you're looking for a place to stay, search no further than the Adare Country House and ask for Dennis & Eileen. You'll be hard-pressed to find better in such a charming part of the world!Simon Hibberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090853138068910173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187947556130135394.post-55124027059830177962012-09-20T15:39:00.001-07:002012-10-03T13:31:12.520-07:00Barbados Cottages<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Welcome to Barbados! <br />
A friend, and client, of mine is building six of these cottages in the north west part of the island of Barbados. He asked for a couple of renderings to help with sales and interest on the project's website. This view is facing a two-bedroom cottage with a view of the resort pool and the sea beyond. <br />

I use these too, but I still prefer the old-fashioned method of design and drawing. These simple block-outs create the 'foundation' for the sketch, and can really begin to come to life while drawing them! The first one is a sales center office in Jordan, the second is a quick floor plan done for a renovated master bedroom, and the third is a concept for a new community's clubhouse.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
