Barn: a landscape in oils
This was painted using a Canadian Tire auto body scraper...really great for loosening up as you can't fuss with the details but a messier process than using paint brushes. There was a companion painting, a view of another building, but that one sold in the "Square Affair" fundraiser for the Visual Arts Centre....I was thrilled and I hope the person who purchased it is enjoying it!
Oil painting is the opposite of water colour; it is very interesting to jump back and forth between the two worlds. Interesting and very challenging!

Squash and Pomegranite
It has been a long time since I have posted any work, but I was painting all autumn in both water colour and oil. I got too busy with painting, which was a lovely delight! I will be posting a selection of paintings over the next little while.

Holiday Water Colour Sketches
View to Cape Porpoise Pier, 6"x 10" water colour.
Family at the Beach, water colour.
Unlike models, random people in your scene are not cooperative. They move! Fancy that!
Clouds and Sea, water colour in moleskin sketchbook
I painted these sketches in August, either on the beach or from the porch of the place we were staying in Cape Porpoise...It was beautiful!
