End of Winter Work

Even though I love snow, it's a sure sign I've almost had enough when I start painting vibrant summer flowers.  This yellow flower is a multi-media piece I painted to teach in Brighton April 24, 6-9 pm for Community Living.  It combines texture, stamping, acrylics and oil glazing plus, playing with a palette knife.

In the summer we love to boat.  Sand Banks Provincial Park is our favourite destination.  The sallow water of East Lake and the mountainous dunes provide entertainment for all ages.  Not far across the dunes is Lake Ontario.  This piece is currently on display in Cobourg at 600 William St as part of a Brighton Arts Council showing.
