Interesting

6 x 6 inch
oil on panel
SOLD
I have definitely been struggling with my painting lately,  it is hit and miss when I am in front of the easel.  I have many beautiful photos of cats which are one of my very favourite things to paint, so this morning I went through them.  I started slow and tried not to panic when I got to where the painting just looks really bad,  I kept going and am quite pleased with the end result.

Going to Saltspring

6 x 8 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

I have had a week of painting and wiping, nothing was going right.  I would have all the best intentions and a plan for what I wanted to paint and then after about an hour or two each day I would wipe everything.
I went through all of my pictures, I needed inspiration.  I had taken this photo when we were going to Saltspring island for the day.  This little sweetie was sitting in the back of the car that was in front of us waiting patiently, I love the red bandana, it was as if her people had dressed her up for the trip.

Olive

6 x 8
oil on panel
SOLD

This is Olive, the perfect name.  This is a commission for a woman who I met last summer.  When she sent me the photos of Olive I was so excited to paint her.  Olive has so much personality in her looks.

I was painting at my studio in town yesterday and this was my view, I kept looking at the light on the flowers it was so beautiful, I eventually headed out to take pictures...there is nothing like spring, the flowers are so brand new.
