I love painting summer, I chose to stick to blues, greens and purples for this painting and leave the brushstrokes soft.

I have had this photo for a long time, it is an acreage that I drive by often in Qualicum Beach. With the winter weather it is always nice to paint something so lush...also something to look forward to.

First peony sighting and out come the big brushes, the big brush strokes and the big bursts of energy.  I couldn't walk by this canvas without picking up my brush and adding another blast of colour.  Time disappears when creativity takes over.

Second day of Eumni's workshop, I had chosen a smaller canvas yesterday but Eumni suggested using a larger one for the floral painting, after watching her the day before just go at the demo painting fearlessly I decided to follow her wild abandonment. I even used a palette knife for a good portion of the painting, I had never used one before. I learned so much, just letting go and not judging your work to harshly.  The importance of complimentary colours that can either make or break a painting.  Knowing when to stop....very difficult premise for me.  All in all it was such a great experience.
