This is my first small abstract painting, oh how I loved the process. Deciding the direction of this little gem was a thrill from beginning to end.

CHOICES

6 x 6 inches
oil on gessobord
$50.00

I am becoming hooked on painting still life.  I love that you can pick a favourite object and use it as a subject, I am a fan of bright coloured pottery and glass ware so I have a great assortment to choose from.

CARROTS AND TOMATOES

6 x 6 inch
oil on gessobord
$50.00

I absolutely love the colour of this bowl and when I lay the carrots in it.the colour just popped, then when I placed the tomatoes beside it  everything just came together...a perfect still life.

Cow 70

size 8 x 6 inch
oil on gessobord
SOLD

I have painted this cow once before and was asked to paint it again as the first one had sold.  I so enjoyed painting it for a second time, changing subtle detail and colour.

Cow 60 Hoity Toity

SOLD

I loved the pose of this cow, I decided to make the  nose extra pink, it just seemed to fit.

Cow 49 Pink everywhere

6 x 6 inches
oil on board

I seem to be getting a little abstract in my paintings, just suggesting some of the detail.  I am working on not having quite so many paint strokes...we shall see.

Everyone's cat

6 x 8 inches
oil on board
$65.00

This is Pebbles  my girlfriends cat, she thought I would enjoy painting her.  Pebbles has the most beautiful colouring and fantastic green eyes, she is a senior but still looks so youthful.

Rhodo bliss

6 x 8 inch
oil on panel
$65.00

Today was spent at my studio in town,  this the scene right outside of my window.  The rhodo's were so perfect that I ran out snapped a few pictures and headed back in to start painting.

Cow 46 Pretty girl

6 x 8 inch
oil on panel
$65.00

I used a pink underpainting which for me made the look of the cow more interesting.I am trying different approaches to my painting.  Nothing ventured nothing gained...especially when painting.

Cow 42 I think we've met before

6 x 6
oil on panel
SOLD

I took a class last month with Ingrid Christensen and she couldn't stress enough to not add any detail until the very end, I have been trying though sometimes I get ahead of myself.  I like the pink background against the browns and rusts.  I only used a very small amount of white.

Chemainus bluff

6 x 8
oil on panel

SOLD

Yesterday we went to Saltspring Island for the day, on our way back my girlfriend Cindy took us on a tour of the town she grew up in, Chemainus.  We were in a new area of homes and there was one vacant lot left.  It was so beautiful with just a few trees and looking over to Saltspring.

Cow 39 The Mentor

6 x 8 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

I loved how this little cow was so close.  Again I am surprised by how different every cow looks and how different there personalities seem.

By the window

6 x 8
oil on panel
SOLD

I snapped the picture of these daffodils at the art gallery where I paint.  I loved the look of them against the window.

Sunday afternoon

6 x 6 inch
oil on panel

SOLD

I took this picture  when I was in Victoria,  just over the horizon is the ocean.  There is nothing more beautiful as when the cherry trees are flowering.  I don't really paint street scenes...I am going to change that, I just loved painting it.

Gold and pink

8 x 8 inches
oil on panel
SOLD

I am definitely on a tulip turquoise vase kick...I have an addictive personality especially when it comes to things that I like to paint.

Sunflowers

6 x 6
oil on panel
SOLD

This is the first time I have ever painted sunflowers, I absolutely  love how much movement they have.  I decided on a bright blue/turquoise background, the sunflowers could definitely handle the competition.

Pink day

6 x 8
oil on board
SOLD

This painting came together quickly,  I think that when there is just so much colour I work much faster, looking forward to each brush stroke...love pink and green together.  It seems part abstract part impressionist.

Together we shine

6 x 8
oil on board
SOLD

I am really enjoying painting on a black panel  At first I had a lot of trouble figuring how to start the paintings, now I look forward to it.
