Crows and more crows.

I think this has officially become a series.

Walking with Grampa

Another painting inspired by my recent trip home.

Duncan MacLeod

Duncan is the last of my Christmas portraits. He’s the only dog I’ve known who has a surname.

Silo in Mayerthorpe

I was lucky to catch this amazing sunset while visiting Mayerthorpe last summer. I have a feeling that it might appear in future paintings as well!

Tony

This is the first time I’ve painted a lizard. It was a birthday gift for someone special. Tony is a Uromastyx (aka spiny-tailed lizard) – a really nice little pet.

On the Tracks in Mayerthorpe

On the Tracks in Mayerthorpe 14″ x 18″

It has been a while since I painted anything from Mayerthorpe. Hanging out on the tracks isn’t the safest place to watch a storm, but it gave me a pretty nice view.

Sparrows Beneath the Flowers

Sparrows Under the Flowers 8″ x 8″

Here’s a little reminder that spring is just around the corner!

Many of my latest bird paintings are now available as prints on my Etsy page. Have a look!

Sparrows and Blossoms

Sparrows and Blossoms 8″ x 8″

When in doubt, paint more birds. I guess this is what I do while other ideas are percolating. Don’t want to have an empty easel after all.

For sale at Daily Paintworks.

Whytecliff Park

Whytecliff Park 18″ x 14″

The private commission I recently did left me with a few ideas that I wanted to explore – like this view from Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver.

House Finch and Blossoms

House Finch and Blossoms

I’m starting off the year with something bright and springy.

You can bid on this one at Daily Paintworks.
