all for one

 
$80 - 8x8" original watercolour painting

I painted this original watercolour at a lovely greenhouse near the university. The oranges and pinks were so pretty that I wanted to capture them. And they were so happy together... that I decided to title it "all for one". Such a lovely pot of flowers.

Full of Surprises

 

$80 - 5x7" original watercolour painting includes 8x10"mat.


SOLD

I've been painting waterfalls lately and I think this one, called "Full of Surprises", is my fave so far. I think it's the cute little second "step" of water that caught my eye. And the light of course! It's a 5x7" original watercolur painting and it comes with an 8x10"mat. Ready to frame! (You've probably got an 8x10"frame already #winkwink).

little gateway

 


This "little gateway" was painted on location when a group of friends and I went out to one of my favourite parks. The simple 3 logs that make up an entrance are so beautiful. There is just something gentle about it's construction. Once I drew it I, of course, added lots (and lots) of colour.

PINK ARRAY

 

SOLD

I've been painting with watercolour a lot lately however, this morning, it was time to get back to oil. I love painting two vases of flowers side by side, since they 'play' off each other. And, I added a nice strong side light. Super fun.

BREWED ICED TEA

 

$100 - 6x6" original oil painting on 1/4" cradled panel.

The first thing I did, before painting this, was brew some hot tea. And, due to the steamy looking night in this piece, I decided that was a good title. #heehee

STEADY

One-of-a-kind and hand-painted.
 
I've been painting, and teaching, animals in watercolour lately. It's easy to shy away from horses because they're so challenging. But, I'm trying to step up to the plate and capture thier beautiful eyes and distictive shape. Enjoyed painting this immensely! I hope you enjoy it too.

Ya' gotta' love a crisp apple! Or two... or seven. Painting a high angle viewpoint is always cool. Thanks to Sarah Sedwick for the awesome photo reference. They're great to have when I'm painting early in the morning and I don't have any fruit in the house. ; )

HUNGRY CRITTERS

 

$80
5x7"original watercolour painting in 8x10"mat. 8x10"frames are easy to find. You may have one already!

I used one of my favourite colours, called Opera Pink, in the watermelon. It's a hot pink. Then I added dabs of warm cadmium red for contrast. Hmm... the hot pink should be called cold pink, since it's a cool colour. #heehee Anywho... I went for lots of contrasts in this piece. The cool and warm as well as dark and light. Raccoons are a blast to paint!

I saw lots of gators over the holidays. So cute. They usually just bask in the sun or float along (looking exactly like a log!) in a shallow swamp. Again, so cute. Seriously!
