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.

courtyard corner

 

Original 7x7" watercolour painting

SOLD

I painted this pretty red bicycle and doorway while out on a plein-air day with a Toronto art group. The little courtyard at the University of Toronto is beautiful and this scene just caught my eye. Check out my little paintbox that I use when outdoor painting. WooHoo!

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

 

$80 

5x7" original watercolour painting in an 8x10" acid-free mat

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.

SWEET TREATS

 

$100

6x6" original oil painting on 1/4"deep panel. Artist quality supplies. Sides painted to match. Lightly varnished.

I loooove pink and red together. I also love these new 6x6" panels that I purchased. They are 1/4" thick, so they are nice and light. Also, the grain is very smooth and lovely to paint on. Thanks to Sarah Sedwick for an awesome still life set up.

CRISPY CRUNCH

 

SOLD

OIL - 8x8" original oil painting on 3/4"deep panel, with sides painted. There is already a wire for hanging on the back of this piece. It's ready to hang!

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. ; )

Here's how it looks on the wall... and a close up. Thanks for looking. : )

Inktober - Gargoyle, Scurry and Bouquet

 So far, I'm having a blast participating in Inktober 2022

For the month of October, artists are encouraged to do a daily drawing with ink.

By following the prompt list, I end up painting a lot of things I might not paint.

I'm using the Elegant Writer Pens by Speedball. They're watersoluble so, the dark ink bleeds as I add watercolour, a look I enjoy for this project.

Two Pups

 

$100 

10"x10" cradled panel with 8x8" original watercolour painting.

I drew these two pups, which were sooooo cute, while at a cafe enjoying a sunny day. I love the striped shirt vs. the flower shirt, not to mention the contrast with the checkered chair backs. Lots of fun stuff to paint!

This is my new way of presenting my paintings. It took some time to perfect it, but the painting is completely adhered to the panel, painted with gouache. I love painting a strong vibrant colour for the background. It's like it's own frame so, it's ready to hang. Varnished too!

breakfast in the garden

$80

5x7" original watercolour painting in 8x10"mat

This cutie-patootie chipmunk is enjoying a little breakfast in the garden. In an upcoming art class I'm teaching, we will be talking about contour lines and a warm/cool palette. So, in preparation for my class demo, I drew this little snookums with a energetic line then painted him with a two-colour palette, of warm orange and cool violet. Super happy with him. ; )

morning marmalade

SOLD

6x6" original watercolour painting on cradled panel with sides painted. Varnished.

Toronto - curbside pickup available.

This sweet little marmalade jar, with the morning light shinning through it, just spoke to me. I saw it as a watercolour right away. Sometimes... that just happens with an object.

Daisy Cascade

 

SOLD

8x10" original oil painting on 3/4" panel.

Well, I may have over bought at the flower shop. Hee hee. So, I grabbed two little cups and filled 'em up. I made sure the cups, (well I guess one is a vase) were different. I love the dark one. It's such an interesting shape - one of my faves. 

Sides are painted grey.

Meet Blossom Bear! She's been helping me out with my hand studies lately. Hee hee. She's added a nice touch to my little oil painting project. Over the years I've collected lots of finger puppets... and there will be more cutie-patooties to come!
