Deer Foraging
Deer Foraging 18″ x 14″
I thought this would be appropriate for the season, as it’s based on a photo from last spring in Alberta. Taken just before they all ran for the trees.

A Mix of Sun and Clouds
A Mix of Sun and Clouds 8″ x 8″
I decided to do a quick landscape – no cows, chickens or other animals in this one. I wanted the focus to be on the dramatic sky and huge puffy clouds.

Fall in Vancouver
Changing Seasons 8″ x 8″
It has been a very grey, rainy fall here in Vancouver. Maybe this painting will help to brighten things up a bit.

Sun Peaks Meadow 8″ x 8″
We found these fields of wildflowers during a summer hike at the Sun Peaks Ski Resort. We had to navigate through a herd of cattle who were enjoying them just as much as we were.

The less I paint, the less I want to paint. The more I paint, the more I want to paint.
Thankfully, the second phrase describes my current condition.

Bringing out the tiny brushes.
Tiny Painting 3″ x 3″
It has begun. The assembly line of tiny paintings for Christmas. A very slow, one woman assembly line.

Highbury Street
Highbury Street 24″x18″
Autumn is my favourite painting season. My attempts at capturing the golden light, long shadows and intense colours are not always successful, but I have a lot of fun trying.
The season always feels too short for me to take it all in and explore as much as I’d like. For me, the magic of painting is that it allows me to fully immerse myself in a place, to explore the colours, textures and mood for as long as I want. Hopefully, in the end, I have a piece of art that captures the character of that place or moment. (Sometimes it actually works).

Same painting, different size.
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.
