Intersection 8″ x 8″
Intersection 8″ x 8″
Can you spot the difference between these 2 paintings? Sometimes I think I’m finished, but after looking at the painting for a few days I see things that must be fixed. The lowest sign on the post HAD to be removed. Now if only I could figure out how to fix the grass…

So I haven’t been doing much painting lately. Time is short as we are packing up for a potential move. As I was pulling things out from the back of my closet, I found boxes of old watercolours. Since there’s nothing new to post, here are a few oldies. This feels a bit like cheating, but it’s all I’ve got.
Boardwalk, Granville Island 18″ x 24″
Drawing things in perspective is not one of my strengths. Half way through this painting, I realized that I had it very wrong. I made some corrections (not easy when the painting is too far along), but I’m still not sure I’ve got it right.
This path runs around Granville Island, on the North side of False Creek. A beautiful walk when it’s sunny.

3″ x 3″ acrylic painting
The latest in my series of tiny paintings. They keep me painting when art time is limited.

North Poles 18″x24″
I decided to use my tiny painting as a study for this larger version. I’m happy to be finding some painting time after a busy December and January.

North Poles 3″ x 3″
I don’t usually name these small paintings, but it’s 8 days until Christmas and I couldn’t resist.
Acrylic Paintings 3″ x 3″
Since many of these will be given as Christmas gifts, I decided to make some that are appropriate for the season.

3″ x 3″ paintings
Once again I am working on these little 3 inch paintings, perfect for gift giving. I really enjoy them because they are quick and give me a break from my larger “serious” paintings. They remind me that painting should be fun. They also work as little studies for large paintings later on. I’ll be focusing on these until Christmas.

Hastings Mill Store 18″x24″
This is the Hastings Mill Store – known as Vancouver’s oldest building. You can read all about it’s history here. The park where it is located is my favourite picnic spot in the city. It sits up on a cliff overlooking English Bay, with a beautiful view of downtown and the North Shore mountains.

2 Horses – study 11″x14″
I was hoping to come up with a catchier title for this painting, but as I worked on it, I had a few problems. I think it’s best to chalk it up to practice and name it accordingly.
