One Summer

Here is another painting of Secret Beach, only looking away from the beach.  I loved the cast shadows on the driftwood and the way the sunlight lit up part of the meadow.  It was a pleasure to paint.  This is for our next show at the end of the month.  This is a 30x30" and I really enjoyed the larger format.  I took a lot of photos this particular summer day, and I'm looking forward to painting all winter long.

At Rest



When I need a break from larger paintings that take a little more concentration, I have fun with daisies or hummingbirds.  This is actually a diptych, which matches with the 'Yellow Snappers' painting I did a short while ago.

This is an 8x24" acrylic on stretched canvas. SOLD
 

Secret Afternoon

I never get tired of painting Secret Beach.  There are so many different angles and views.  It's such a lovely, secluded beach usually only frequented by locals (and we're not talking!).  I still seem to be having problems with my camera and colour.  This might be one of those times when I actually need to read the instructions. 

This is a 15x30" acrylic on stretched canvas.

By Invitation

Back to painting things I love...hummingbirds and flowers.  I'm still struggling a bit with my new camera because the colours are a bit too blue, but I'll figure it out.  These are a nice break from the larger, more intense landscapes.  I hope you enjoy looking at them because I do enjoy painting them.

This is an 8x24" acrylic on stretched canvas. SOLD

Sunkissed

A daisy or two, just for fun, in between the larger pieces.

This is 10x10" acrylic on deep canvas.  SOLD

Yellow Snappers

 

Finished this little guy, and have another started.  Birds and flowers are some of my favourite things to paint because they're so cheery.

This is an 8x24" acrylic painting.   SOLD

Forest Green

I took this picture of Angus creek in the summer, in one of our provincial parks.  There was a green glow all around.  Lots of moss hanging down from the trees.  It was very magical.

This is a 24x30" acrylic, painted on wrapped canvas.  SOLD

Grey Creek Rumble

 

This painting is from a picture I took last October of Grey Creek.  The day was overcast, and it took me a while to figure out the light source before the painting finally came together.  

This is a 24x36 acrylic.  $1500.

Summer Blues

A little jump on the season. 

This is acrylic, on an 8x24 stretched canvas.  $165.00.  SOLD

First of the Season

Daisies have to be my favourite flowers to paint.  They don't make demands like roses do, no thorns to sting you, and they're just plain cheerful!  And who doesn't love strawberries?  SOLD

This is acrylic on a 9x12 stretched canvas. 

Sitting Pretty

It's almost magnolia season, again.  Birds and flowers - now there's a combination that can only bring a smile to your face.  At least, it does the trick for me. 

This is 9"x12" acrylic on canvas.  $150.00 SOLD

Solitude

I really enjoy painting water. Each province has its own beauty.  You can never go to far in British Columbia before you stumble on a perfect scene like this one. SOLD

Back Road

I took this picture heading towards Gibsons down Gower Point Road.  The light was just terrific and I really enjoyed working on this painting.  SOLD

Asian Influence

Finally finished this dahlia painting.  I used my favorite Oriental vase - I've used it a number of times in paintings.  And the fact that I paid $5.00 at a sidewalk sale, makes it even better!

This is 24"x24" on deep canvas.  $600.00  SOLD

After the Rain

I've always wanted to paint Molly's Reach, and this was for a challenge at the gallery.  Not a lot of light because it was a rainy day.  This took a while, and I had fun with the windows which show reflections of the diners.  Next time I'll paint Molly's from a distance.  SOLD

Sunspots

Had a great time visiting my parents in Saskatoon.  Now it's time to get some painting in.  Been a busy summer so far.  Lots of fun things to do, not the least of which is taking back control of my garden.  It's gotten totally out of hand with overgrown perennials, chickweed, and clover.  We've had some lovely, sunny weather and everything is growing like gangbusters.  I understand better what indeterminate tomatoes are, as mine are close to 6' tall,  I wish my sunflowers were as nice! SOLD

Red, White and Blue

The seeds I planted last week are breaking through the soil, but spring and summer seem a long way off, yet. It's still cool in the Pacific Northwest.  Figured painting a few flowers would brighten the day.  Worked for me :} SOLD

Took a photo of this little girl on Davis Bay beach.  Davis Bay has the nicest beach around - actual sand instead of rocks.  This little girl had her eye fixed on this big old seagull heading her way.  Always a lot of activity there, and lots of good poses to capture.  SOLD

Perched

I really enjoy painting birds.  Wrens are such cocky little guys.  After a cold, wet winter, it's nice to hear the birds chirping outside.  Maybe, just maybe, we've got Spring.  SOLD

Lemon Sky

Lately, I'm getting bolder with my skies...painting on a smaller surface gives you the ability to take a few chances.  It's certainly giving me more confidence with colour in larger paintings.  SOLD
