ALWAYS WELCOME6 x 6

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch thick gesso board
$80.00

Victoria is one of my favourite cities, especially because there are still so many character homes.  Whenever I get the chance I drive the 2 hours to my favourite neighbourhood Fairfield and take as many photos as I can. There was so much detail in the photo that I just started with the larger blocks of colour and then added little bits of detail. So much fun to do.

COOK STREET

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

I took this photo in Victoria, one of my very favourites cities. I want to paint more houses with serious shadow, I left out quite a bit of the detail at the front of the house just trying to focus on the larger blocks of colour...challenging for me but really enjoyed painting this.

I was just in London and so enjoyed seeing the rows of homes with wonderful different coloured doors.  I tried to keep this painting really simple.

VISION IN VIOLET

8 x 6 inch
oil on gessobord
SOLD

I took the photo for this house last year in my favourite city, Victoria. The colour of the house was white but I decided to make it violet.  We are having many days of grey so I wanted to spice things up a little, I also liked how the golds and yellows complemented the violet.
