The End Of Regulation

  Hello everyone.  Busy busy busy!  Before I got into my painting frenzy to get ready for the Pontiac Artists' Studio Tour, I needed to finish this painting.  It is my tribute to the Lokomotiv hockey team in Russia that lost all but one player in a plane crash a year ago.  It is titled "The End Of Regulation".

 

 

 





Dog Portrait

Good morning!  Well, I finally finished my dog portrait.  I've never painted a dog before, so I wanted to give it a try.  This is Bella.  She loves her sticks! Fun!

Aboriginal Man

Hello! I finished this one up today. I also spent the afternoon finishing the sides of 8 paintings! That's what I get for putting it off instead of doing it as soon as the painting is finished. Tomorrow I put the hardware on the backs of them and then they are finally ready.

Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon.

Well, I finished the third in the new series. It's a 16x20 acrylic on canvas. I'll do one more then finish up another portrait painting I had started a while back.

Untitled - so far

Hello! I finished the second painting in my new series. I'm having so much fun painting these. I've already started the third. :)

Quiet Street

Hello! Sometimes you need to do something a little different! I finished this one this morning. It's whimsical, colourful and fun. It's 18x24, acrylic on canvas. I had fun painting this. Your imagination allows for crooked lines and unruled perspectives, as opposed to painting portraits. I need to start another.... :)

Untitled

Happy Sunday everyone. I finished this painting this morning and wanted to share it before I start my next one this afternoon. It is 16x20, acrylic on canvas. If anyone thinks of a title name for it, please email me! :)

Broken Dreams - II

Hello everyone! Here's my second painting in the "Broken Dreams" series. I'll be finishing the third, and last, in the next couple of days.

I'm enjoying watching where you, my viewers, are all from! Don't be shy and say hello!

Broken Dreams - a new series

Good morning! I've finally finished another piece and will be starting a new one today. This is a first in a new series called "Broken Dreams". It is 14x18 acrylic on canvas. I love painting people. I love telling a story through them. When people ask me why I paint such sad paintings sometimes, I always tell them, "Life is not always happy. People live through terrible times and their stories need to be told. A piece of art should provoke an emotion, and that emotion doesn't always have to be happy."

Love and peace to you all, in the coming new year. xo

Christmas Magic

I love Christmas. It may be far away yet, but I had the urge to paint an oldtime Santa the other day. Maybe it's the cool August breeze that's pushing me so forward.

Let The Music Play!

Something a little different, yet fun. This is the first of a new series I'm doing. I wanted to use bright, vibrant colours. The music sheet is blank.... fill it with the music in your heart!

Great day for a picnic!

Today was a beautiful day for the picnic! This is one of the paintings I sold today. A familiar scene in my area. I'm very excited to start the commissioned piece I was asked to do today as well. Thanks to those who came out in support!

Busy Busy!

This week has been very busy! I spent the week participating in the PAA Artists' Residency. This painting was painted plein air at a private beach on Calumet Island. The scenery was stunning! Tomorrow I will be showing at the Picnic in the Park in Quyon, Quebec.

The Sun Seekers

Today is hot. Really hot. It's a good day to finish up paintings that have been sitting, almost complete. Sunflowers bring a smile to my face. :)

Looking Out For You

This is a 10x14 painting of poppies. People love poppies, I've come to realize.

Calm on the Ottawa

During a day on the water last week, I took several pictures of nature on the Ottawa River. I took an idea from them and came up with this painting. There are several beautiful places along the Ottawa River... and I hope to paint another one soon.

Dream In The Wind

I finished this painting today. Acrylic on canvas, 16x20.

Seasons End

Finally finished the touch ups on this painting. I had taken a picture of this last fall while on a drive. It's done in acrylic on a 16x20 gallery canvas. Corn season was over but it made for a great picture.

The Homestead

The Homestead is the second in my new series. It is painted in acrylic on an 8x10 gallery canvas. If you would like one done of your home, please send an email.

A Thank You

Thank you to those of you who have visited my blog. A field of flowers for you!

I've been busy taking pictures for a client and finishing my second painting in the whimsical series. I've also been hand painting some bookmarks in water colour. Some pictures will be posted soon.

Again, many thanks.
