MASSAGE IN A BOTTLE

This acrylic painting is currently being displayed in my massage therapist waiting room.  She had a huge bare wall and I offered to paint something calm and relaxing to suit the room décor.

 

 

ART AT THE INN

FANCY FREE

Fancy Free has been proudly selected to be exhibited at ART AT THE INN, along with several other wonderful works. Please join me for the opening reception or go see the exhibit on your own time.

WINGS AND PETALS

A 16 by 20 inch acrylic painting began as demo to help teach a friend how to paint.  I returned to the painting a few weeks later and realized its potential.  VOILA  The photo doesn't give the painting justice as it was painted mostly in interference colors.

SALVIA-plein air

I painted this watercolor of the Salvia outside in front of the Art Center recently.  It was in full bloom and blowing in the wind. I painted it very loose to suggest it waving back and forth.

FANCY FREE

I had the yen to paint butterflies but wanted to suggest them in a creative way. Butterflies when camouflaged in the forest become a mystery to locate, as is in this Diptych. Enjoy

 

EVENING FALLS

In this painting, I used Gary Chapmans technique of watercolor on canvas.  Gary did a demo for us at Bridgewater and his paintings turned out beautifull.  I'm happy with my results however, I had to add some light acrylic to brighten up the lights at the end.

Bridgewater Retreat- watercolor

There is so mush to paint at Bridgewater Retreat in Tweed Ontario, I didn't know where to begin.  I took several photos that I can refer to later on.  These two watercolors include the facade of our rustic accomodations.

ART is MUSIC

 

 

 

Another new creation, this one with a dual message. Study this carefully and you will see how these Islands and the foreground have a musical message.

MORNING SHIMMER

I created this acrylic painting to depict the variety of , colors reflecting and focus in and out, as the water shimmers. The sun is coming from the top, thus creating the ducks and grasses in shadow only.
