Fall Again

12" x 12"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD
Today's cool artist that you should check out is Sheila Kernan. I love both her city street scenes as well as her landscapes. It would be great to be a fly on the wall in her studio, just to see how she does it! Sounds like she uses, acrylic, oil and an air spray gun...fascinating. Looking at her work gets me in the mood to explore some new techniques.

Metcalfe in Fall

30" x 40"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD
This is a painting that I donated to a fundraiser for my son's school. The Sugar Plum Fair, as it is called, has a silent auction as well as many other holiday related activities. As I was also on the organizing committee for this event, I am happy to say the sales were a success, and lots of funds were raised. Now I can stop organizing, and go back to painting!! Thanks to Emma McCurdy for buying the painting. I hope you enjoy it.

Silent Reverie

12" x 12"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD
It was a successful show opening last night. Lots of beautiful art to check out. I even took home a piece myself, a stunning painting by Peter John Reid, one of my favourite local artists.
Peter has also recently written a book "How To Paint With Acrylics". It provides some really interesting information for acrylic painters. I have read many acrylic paintings books in the past, but found a variety of new insights in this book. Peter sells them directly, if you are interested, check out his link.

So Many Pieces
36" x 24"Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD
I just finished reading Inside the Painters Studio by Joe Fig. Wow! What an unbelievable peek inside the studios of some of the most interesting contemporary artists working today (missing a few Canadian artists however...). If you like to learn about other artists' working methods, tools and paints used, studio set up, and a look into the day to day life of other artists, then this is the book for you. I devoured it and will be reading it all over again soon.

Been Around for a Long Time

24" x 24"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD
SOLD
I painted this a couple of weeks back, while at the studio tour in front of a "live" audience. Since I'm not entirely comfortable painting in front of others (I'm getting there though), I decided to stick with "comfort material". So I painted my favourite barn.
