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!

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.

More Flowers, of course! This colourful bouquet started with a few white and red friends... but then I spotted some purple flowers in the garden. So, I added them too!

STEADY

 

SOLD
5x7" original watercolour painting on paper in an acid-free 8x10"mat.
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.

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!

Today felt like a watercolour day. I work with both oil and watercolour and this morning, this sweet subject said 'watercolour' to me. Actually, working in one medium can teach me a lot about the other! ; )
