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.

Harry Potter and Painting

 

It is will a sense of finality relief I write this post.  I have been reading Harry Potter.  That is a lot of reading and I have been very distracted.  I'm so happy Harry accomplished his mission and I can get back to work.  This painting I started weeks ago and I think I can finally call it finished.

This painting of the Bryon Bay light was a late Christmas present for my brother in-law.  He sent me this picture when he was working in Australia a year ago.  I used to paint a lot of lighthouses, I love the history, architecture and of course, the locations.

Arts Quinte West Studio Tour

One day until my studio tour.

Here I am working on some new paintings.

One is a commission, a giant painting I'm

wondering if I will ever get finished.

The other is a mixed media water study,

my favourite thing to paint, water and clouds.

This new painting was inspired
by a poem written by my friend
Melissa Duguay.
