Resting Place

60" x 72" diptych
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

This is the piece that I created during the Art Tour on the May long weekend.  It was fun to paint in front of an audience, though at moments a bit disconcerting (especially those times when you are not sure what to do next!).  I took advantage of the large studio space at the Loft Gallery, and painted a larger canvas size than I could at home.

We have a a large number of beautiful birch trees on our property.  These two particular ones overlook the pond.  I am often trying to push my paintings in a more abstract direction, which is what I was aiming for here.

Perfect Day

16"x16"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

I have to share one of my new favourite artists with you: Tony Allain. Tony has the most amazing handle on pastels (a medium that I have not used much, but am completely enamoured with the look of).  Tony has wonderful clarity of colour, as well and the ability to simplify a landscape to the bare essence.  Spectacular!
