I’m a virologist, I get temporary contracts to work in curious places. We adopted an abandoned dog, Buddy, a few years ago while working in Africa. Buddy is a very supportive drawing companion. For the most part, consider these drawings a report on where we have been with Buddy and what we have seen, although occasionally I'll post pre-Buddy drawings.

mlcotten13, to Rotterdam

Sometimes you stumble upon the perfect orange: aged, battered, oxidized, a bit rusted. This was on an indestructible Gazelle "Tour de France" model bicycle I used to see down by the harbor in #Rotterdam. #Watercolor #Bicycle #Netherlands

mlcotten13, to Birds

Once we lived near a small lake in the Netherlands. There were many coots living in the shore reeds and it was lovely to see them running across the water before they took off in flight. #Birds #Netherlands #Watercolor #Coots #Waterfowl

mlcotten13, to austria

We once travelled to the site in #Austria where the Venus von #Willendorf statuette was found. It was raining, the fruit orchards were just starting to blossom and the view of the #Danube flowing through the #Wachau was impressive. One could feel the history and somehow believe that people had been here for 25,000 years. #Watercolor #Paleolithic #Archeology

More from our irrigation canal survey. Buddy and I followed the Alameda Lateral further south this morning. Lovely old district, big cottonwoods, old farmhouses.

mlcotten13, to drawing

17 July 2023. This was from Albuquerque, on a beautiful path running between the acequia irrigation canal and old farms and orchards north of the city. We walked early before the temperature reached the 40 C that the reports promised. Buddy my #drawing companion decided to stop near the old tractor so we could draw. I'm pretty sure that is an Allis-Chalmers, maybe a WD-45. The sun-faded orange is beautiful. #Watercolor #DogsofMastodon #travels
