$120 - 6x6" original oil painting on 3/4" deep panel/sides painted

I had a blast painting this night-time interior. The lamp, the light, the little empty glass, everything about this piece was a fun new experience!

$120 - 6x8" original oil painting on 1" deep panel

The most fun I had painting this one, and really it was all fun, was the little raspberries next the the slices of pie. Filling the tea cups with a little dash of paint was also a blast. I'm really enjoying painting interiors. Traditionally interiors don't have people but I'm thinking... maybe. ; )

the tea shop

 

SOLD

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

Last night on Youtube, the awesome SketchingPlayLab held a live painting session. It was great to paint while they talked about art and shared their styles and supplies. This little tea shop is a different kind of interior for me, but still in line with my interior interest lately. ; )

the sunny studio

 

SOLD

$100 - 6x8" original oil painting on 1" deep panel. Sides painted

There was just something about this little room that grabbed me, the minute I saw the light shinning across the floor. I knew I had to paint it. I added a few colourful dabs on the desktop and some pink flowers too. Then there's the exterior, I kept it all the same value but with a variety of playful colours. 

Super happy with this cozy room.

The Pillow Collection

SOLD

$120 - 8x10" original oil painting on 1" panel

I ad-libbed a few tassels (so cute) and a few stripes on all my pillows. And I added a coffee cup. I love painting interiors. All the shapes and colours and overlapping pillows are a wonderful challenge.

Here are some close ups -

and the sides are painted to match -

the Judy

 

SOLD

8x8" original oil painting on panel.

Seamstress mannequins have the nickname 'Judy'. I added a little tape measure and tomato pin cushion... can you find them? : )

Why are pin cushions a tomato? lol.

think about it

$70 - 8x10"painting

The Art Gallery of Ontario is here in Toronto and it's free on Wednesday nights. So, a bunch of us from the Toronto Urban Sketchers went over there. It's so much easier sketching in public with a group! 

warm cookies

SOLD

I am very happy with this painting. It was a great challenge to keep the outside snowy day cool and the inside friendly cafe warm.

$50 - 5"x7"painting with matt. Ready for your 8"x10" frame!

in the mood for a memory

SOLD

Now, I know Billy Joel's "Piano Man" lyrics are ...'son can you play me a memory' and 'we're all in the mood for a melody' but as a kid I always got it wrong and reversed them. I kinda prefer it my way(!), hence the title of this painting. Click on image to enlarge.

$140 - 12x16" painting.

that autumn feeling

SOLD

Drawn with a charcoal pencil today at my favourite cafe. Also, loving this fall weather!

Here are a few reference pics.

stripes in the sunshine

SOLD

I painted larger than usual, which was a good challenge. And I added a map of Canada!

$150 - 11"x14" watercolour painting.

studio coatrack

SOLD

$70 - 8x10"painting

The bad news is, I was late for life drawing and I had to sit in the back. The good news is, there is a wonderful coatrack at the back!

think it through

This is my third 'Cafe Moment' in this style. I've been working on adding pattern and shading to my drawing, without obliterating the contour line.
