Lately I seem to be using more rich oranges, golds and reds than usual...right now our area is full of the most amazing fall colours.  A friend of mine was mentioning that because of the long very hot summer we had it makes them even more spectacular. I love nature.

I kept this painting simple and loose, I am trying not to go crazy with too much detail.  Sometimes less is definitely more.

I was originally going to paint this bunny on a 6 x 6 inch panel, after looking at it for awhile I decided to go big.  I started with a black under painting which really defines the colours and gives a wonderful depth and adds even more interest to the painting.

CARROT GUY

oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

This horse lives on Parker Road in Qualicum Beach not far from where I live, I originally headed out first thing one morning to take photos of the cows, they were in the opposite end of the pasture much too far away.   But across the street there was a horse who was very interested in the carrots that we had so I decided to take advantage of the photo opportunity.
