SOLD

While enjoying a lazy day at the pool, I drew this piece with a strong gestural line then added lots of colour to their outfits, towels and the beach umbrella. 

Now I'm home, and it's raining...; )

I just arrived home from vacation and turned on my computer to a wonderful DailyPaintworks Challenge. I love painting cityscapes so this NYC reference photo was... right up my alley.

I think this fresh loose painting is a great way to end a long lingering winter. Time for a holiday in the sun! Happy Easter to all and I'll see you in May.

Still pluggin' away at these looonngg paintings (6x22") for a group art show in May. Although the composition demands a lot of planning, I am really enjoying it.

on a whim

SOLD

Something different! I didn't do any line drawing before painting this time. I just went for it with lots of water and lots of paint.

This curious little red cardinal was a joy to paint. I liked his inquisitive look and swivelled hips!

it'll be an adventure

I set up and painted this painting on the floor. There is something to be said for working on the floor... It encourages movement and a kind of freedom.

on a clear day

I'm presently preparing for an art show in May. I found some wonderful colourful frames, with an opening of 6x22" which makes the frames 8x24". 

It's been a joy, as well as a challenge (!), painting long compositions, both horizontal and vertical. I'm determined to forge ahead and fill all 9 frames!

The DailyPaintworks Challenge this week was to use the purplish/pinkish colour Radiant Orchid, which has been called the colour of 2014. Awesome unique colour!

My Etsy Shop "WatercoloursbyNora"

"with a splash of milk"

"puzzle pieces"

I've added a few more paintings to My Etsy Shop. 

Etsy is like ebay or amazon however, it's for artists and craft makers only. It's a wonderful site, and super user friendly. 

colour spots

SOLD

I was very inspired by this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge, a scenic view not typical in my Toronto setting! I added a few flags, some friends sitting on the rocks and colourful floaters on the boats.
