Rhino's Day Out

You can see a video of this guy being painted, which turned out a little better than the last one of my lion, over at Instagram and Facebook. 

Unfortunately, Blogger won't unload the video here.

Last but not least my hungry friend bear... 

Friendly, but Hungry

Seahorse Charlie aka Magic Man

$60 - 5x7"original watercolour painting with 8x10"mat

Seahorse Charlie aka 'Magic Man': 

Charlie, with eyes wide open, floats through the seagrass beds looking for that special someone. Last week he told you about himself. Well, he's ready to tell you more. Charlie is a professional magician. He can move his chameleon like eyes independently of each other! Also, his camouflage ability enables him to change colours abracadabra. And, he can hold his breath underwater for... a really long time. He could magically be yours, just link up through PayPal. ; )

Seahorse Charlie

$60 - 5x7"original watercolour painting with 8x10"mat

Seahorse Charlie: Shy but intelligent, Charlie likes long swims in the sea, root beer floats and shimmering blue coral. He is hand painted and original, a real one-of-a-kind, who hopes to brighten up your days for a lifetime. Charlie is looking for a long term relationship with a serious art lover... like yourself. ; )

I painted this little 5x7" watercolour commission for a new client. What a honey their dog is!! I love that her little front paw is off the ground as she runs towards her owner. : )

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!

This is a little cartoon I've had in my head for a few years. It was one of my New Year's Resolutions to get it onto paper this year!

$150 - 9x12" original watercolour painting

This fellow was such a treat to paint! I added hints of blue cerulean to contrast with his warm brown and dark coat. Lots and lots of colours mixed in this one. 

Here's a close up of him:

Sketchbook - animal pages

My March sketchbook is filling up nicely. I love to draw draw draw, but it doesn't leave much time to paint paint paint! ; )

This is one of my favourites, of two meerkats! Enjoy.

$80 - 8x10"painting
For this piece, I toned the watercolour paper with a wash of grey/pink first. I've been wanting to work on toned paper for awhile so, I made it a New Year's Resolution. : )

I thought I'd start November off with this girl!

wee wee wee

$50 - 5x7"painting 

I went out plein-air painting with some friends to the Riverdale Farm which has the cutest little pigs. Super adorable! They were total sleepy heads... which made them a bit easier to capture with paper and paint.

Still working on how to paint bigger when out in the field. 

A few spots left..

There are still a few spots left in my upcoming workshops! Three Thursdays for only $55! We will be doing hand studies, animals and abstracts from sidewalk cracks.

cards and show

Lots of line drawing of animals, that started as sketches for InkTober, but ended up as cards I'll be selling at my next show! I think I'll splash some watercolour on them all. : )

Next art show - Saturday Nov. 14th at the Eastminster United Church

310 Danforth, at Chester in Toronto

10-5 Free and TONS of vendors!

Art Show!

I'll be selling my original watercolours and one-long-line drawings this Saturday. This will be my third year involved with this wonderful show at:

310 Danforth (near Chester), Toronto 

10-5/Free

Over 40 vendors selling all kinds of stuff! 

Other news... working on a way of shading my drawings without hatching or watercolour. I did these on newsprint with a charcoal pencil.

buffalo and barbary sheep

I had a great time doing gestural sketches of the animals at High Park Zoo over the weekend. Usually it's difficult to drawn them as they're on the move, but I think the lovely sunny Sunday we had kept them relaxed. The buffalo have huuuuggge heads... but they're still cute!
