My flowers in a glass series continues. I love the challenge of this idea. The toughest part is actually keeping the exterior, out the window, all the same value. Of course, the real stars are the flowers, in water and able to breath but not quite free. Check out my facebook page or my Instagram page to see the time lapse film of the painting!

email me for Canadian Dollar Link. : )

Painting groups don't have to stop painting together just because of a virus. Artists friends everywhere are sharing photo references online and painting from home 'together'! A wonderful group I paint with began doing this. Each week we'll all paint from the same photos, then share our paintings via social media. It's nice to know fellow artists are nearby.

Starting bid $70 - 6x6" oil painting with 1" deep painted sides.

For my latest still life, I started to fill this jar with flowers and after one, I just stopped. It looked so confident - a perfect statement for this difficult time. I know it's hard to be motivated when there's so much time at home but I hope you are all finding some creative time. It might just push you through it. x

inquisitive smile

I painted this from a photo reference on sktchy. I just loved her slight smile and inquisitive look. I took on the challenge of teeth (!) which is rare for me and I'm happy with the way it turned out. A friend at work purchased her before the painting was even dry!

polka dot pals

$90 - 6x6" original oil painting on 1" deep panel

The #artdare challenge yesterday (on Instagram) was "polka dots" so I painted these cute friends on some pretty gift wrap paper. I loved painting the blues in the light vs. the blues in the shadow. The auction for this piece is 7 days, over at Daily Paintworks. : )

It's hard to tell, but the sides are painted the same pink as the background.

rosy hearts

Here's another one from the day we all got the giggles. You wouldn't know it to look at the painting, but this fellow artist barely sat still with all the silliness happening that day. 😀

The 1" deep sides are painted grey.
