Welcome to the Cannon Art Studio

I started this blog page so I could share my art with friends. I plan to update it with new works. Check in every now and then, or join my followers. I would love to hear comments, criticisms, anything that will help in my quest to improve. Enjoy...

Charcoal study

Chateau Neuf du Pape Study

Right before switching off the light in the studio late last night I stopped, sat down for 15 minutes and sketched this out.  It has been haunting me and I had to get it down on paper.  

From a photograph I took in that small southern France town, famous for the wine of the same name.  I had to reconstruct the shadows since I couldn't wait for the sun to come back when I walked by the first time.  I may have to computer model this in Sketch-up to get it right.  I just remember it was striking when I came upon the view into the courtyard.

It will be an oil painting eventually.  Stay tuned.


It's always an adventure
