These flowers are from my garden, the deck chair is a favourite knitting spot in the summer, the vase is from a dear friend...perfect combination for a painting.

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.

Little blue house

One of my very favourite things to do is drive to Victoria especially when all the cherry trees are coming out.  My husband and I spent a couple of hours walking around Fairfield taking pictures of all of the charming character homes. This little blue house was one of the first pictures I took, originally there was a portion of an orange house beside it, I eventually took it out as it just didn't seem to fit.  I have started using gessobord for several of my paintings, it definitely allows your paint brush to glide more easily. 

Cow 28...Sturdy is what comes to mind

I didn't use as much paint as usual,  I was being very thoughtful of where to place my brush strokes,  I loved the shape of this cow...nice and sturdy.

Was it something I did?

This is a commission.  I got some really great photos from the owner.  I added bits of cobalt to brighten up the painting.

I found this image on paintmyphoto.com.  I loved the simplicity of it. I have a fear of painting glass    so it was a challenge for me.  Usually I use many more colours in my paintings, this was a nice change, very soothing.

This was another dog day.  This is Abby, I have painted her before.  Her face is so full of expression.  On this painting I slowed down a little and was more careful where I placed my brush strokes.

Sweet Abby

Another commission for a friend of mine.  This is sweet Abby who I met last week for the first time. 

Beautiful blue

The old school house blue version.  I like that art is all about what you want to convey.  You decide what will go on that canvas, what you want to include or not.  There doesn't have to be any rules.  How great is that.
