Halloween's almost here!
This is the first time I've painted by candlelight (well, tea light) and it was quite tricky, but a treat!

fast friends


I've been wanting to paint this dark vase with white flowers for some time now. When I set them up on their own, I quickly realized they needed some friends to accompany them.

there's something fishy going on here...


This is my 2nd online painting challenge this week. 
I had a lot of fun doing this Daily Paintworks Challenge which was to paint the same object from many perspectives with a time limit of 10 minutes each.

Red Bicycle


I thought I'd spend this week doing a few online painting challenges.  This first one is from The Green Palette which posted bicycles as this week's subject. This lovely red bicycle lives around the corner from me.

Art Show - Opening Night!


I spent the whole day preparing for our group art show tonight at St.Barnabas Church here in Toronto.  I've been in the show for the last 9 out of 23 years that it's been running!  Here's my table with all my little goodies on it.  Super happy to say that 2 of them sold! Back tomorrow for the final day - suppose to be a warm one.  Yippee!
p.s.
we put 4 chairs (top row) on top of a table (middle row) and 4 chairs in front of it (bottom row), then toss a couple of sheets over it.  Works perfectly!

walking along


I painted this from a sketch I drew while walking down the street. I loved my drawing series "walking while drawing", which is exactly what it sounds like, draw, walk, don't lift the pencil and watch your step! Perhaps I'll get back to it.

Path from Spadina House


Gorgeous weather today.  I guess everyone is with family for the Thanksgiving long weekend because the Spadina gardens were deserted!
