December SOLD

SOLD 8x10 acrylic on canvas

A closer look at one of my pieces from the December show at Gallery 629 in Merrickville. Winter is one of my favourite seasons to express visually. Snowy mornings, misty light, sparkling whites, long shadows, light halos...all inspire! This is a scene looking out my back window onto a neighbours' property - a mystical moment to recreate.

Whispering Trees - SOLD

                                                           8x10 Mixed Media   SOLD

I've been painting trees a lot. Perhaps it is the fact that I am physically surrounded by trees. I love watching how they move and change through weather and seasons. I am particularly moved by the sound they make.

A Tidy Little Ship

                                             8x10  SOLD

This was painted at the request of a friend. I've been enjoying messing about with water in these latest paintings. There is a definite learning curve going on.

Abstract: Moving Life - SOLD

                                                       8x10 Mixed media on canvas

A second "abstract". This was was an evolutionary process taking place over a stretch of time. It is also a bit of an experiment using acrylic modeling paste, text, stamped images etc.

Flight of Steps - SOLD

                                           8x10 acrylic SOLD

It has been a while since I've been able to participate in the Different Strokes from Different Folks challenges. This subject was a doozie! I was particularly taken with the contrasts: light & dark, lines & circles, as well as the perspective, and immediate sense of movement in the photo. I chose to use a textured 8x10 canvas. In my mind, it added to the sense of motion.
