I haven't painted for a while, but have been collecting inspiring images. Here's one from my mom's garden! Happy fall, y'all!
Finally set to deliver this commission, a second version of my painting "Witness". This gorgeous, ancient black walnut tree sits at the entrance to Stewarttown, and has seen the town grow from a farmer's field within an orchard, to a quaint bustling part of Halton Hills. It's amazing how much making a new version is really making a new painting! I was filled with joy and fear all the way through, just like the first version. Scroll through my feed to find the original and compare. Did I do it justice for my new collector? . . . #artistsincanada #treepaintings #haltonhills
A quick 90 minute or so painting (sketch!) on our local creek this morning. It was wonderful to get back after four months away from my brushes! Thanks to @monica_burnside, Rose, Kathie and Sheila for the great company!
We've been gobsmacked by #monttremblant. Three hours #hiking with my girls was magical!
Alina and I had fun potting up these adorable planters for pool party gifts. Thanks to @diniandco for the inspiration!
I've been quiet lately, but working on this 16x20 commission based off of my smaller plein air, Witness. I had no idea how challenging it would be to go bigger, but still have a feeling of energy and freshness. I'm getting there!
