BACK IN PARADISE

This is another beautiful Vancouver Island scene.  I started this painting with a cadmium red light wash on the panel.  Doing an underpainting always adds to the interest, especially when the canvas is so small.

There will never be a day that I do not want to paint flowers, especially now with the winds howling and the grey clouds surrounding us. It is so nice just staying inside and painting summer.

Today and every day I am so grateful for my surroundings, robins are so common where I live but so wonderful to watch, they love hanging out under our plum tree.  I started this painting with a transparent orange underpainting and kept my brush strokes very light and loose.

One of my favourite scenes overlooking Saltspring Island from Chemainus.  Vancouver Island is one of the most beautiful spots in Canada, it is a large island with many small islands just a short ferry ride away...a travellers paradise.

Another sweet robin to paint. I used a limited palette and tried not to get to caught up in the details, sometimes just suggesting something in a painting is all you need.

BREATHTAKING

This painting is from a photo taken off of Laburnum road just outside of Qualicum Beach, one of our favourite places to walk.  There is a long trail and if you follow it until the end there is a beaver pond which is just magical, the trees that they busily chew on look like great big sharpened pencils.

CLEARING MY MIND

This is a trail not far from our house where we take our dogs, it is so quiet and beautiful. 

CALMING THOUGHTS

I have painted this scene once before on a smaller canvas, I decided to do it again because I really enjoyed painting the water, it was a challenge...I am pleased with the results. 

FLOWER SPOTTING

I have painted this image before and enjoyed it just as much the second time.  These sweet fawns were just heading into the forest after their mother...possibly to look for something to nibble on.

ROMEO AND JULIETTE

I just had to paint these little beauties again, this time I used purples and blues against the foliage, love the combination.  I will definitely be painting them again.
