We're driving to Alberta for the holidays this year to visit John's side of the family. It will be great to see everyone, especially his grandma, a good Ukrainian bobba who's probably cooking up a storm right now. I haven't seen her in close to 2 years, so we're definitely long overdue for a visit.… Continue reading Painting Presents
When the chill returns to the air and evenings are marked by firing up the fireplace, you'll often find me curled up on the couch with a good book and cuddly pug. Though I've been painting and sketching more than reading lately, I must have books on the brain because this theme has popped up… Continue reading Must Be Fall
The new painting I finished this week has become the face of this year's Christmas cards. Sorry for the spoiler, family! They're off at the printers now, but once I get them I'll be adding a few sets to my Etsy shop for anyone else who wants a girl with a foxy hat gracing their… Continue reading Christmas Cards Are On Their Way!
I felt like a rock star yesterday I got so much done. I got up early & got started on a new painting after finishing my usual check email/put out immediate fires routine. I took the dogs for a good long walk on the trails, stopped for groceries on the way home (which is a… Continue reading The Painting From Hell
Fall in Vancouver means the weather is starting to get chilly and the few days of sunshine are immediately pounced on because we know we've got many months of cold, wet weather ahead. This seems to be showing up in my painting too. I've got a new print up in the shop of this sassy… Continue reading Falling
I've had a busy week painting, printing and generally covering my entire house with art stuff. Hopefully no one minds that the kitchen table is covered in drying prints that I protect like a mama eagle watching her nest. Who am I kidding? The boys are not likely to complain about being FORCED to eat… Continue reading New Work plus Prints!
a Cagey Bee Girl ~ acrylic on canvas ~ 8" X 10" My newest painting has now buzzed into my Etsy shop and I think she's my favorite girl yet. With Halloween quickly approaching, The Bee Girl is sort of fitting though I think with her big blue eyes and soft, rounded belly she'll be… Continue reading Bee Girl
acrylic on canvas, 12 X 16 Not the greatest picture since I stayed up until 1:00 a.m. finishing this painting, but this little winter baby didn't want to wait until morning (and daylight) to have her photo snapped. Quite impatient, this one!
I started working on this winter baby girl last night, but didn't get a chance to finish her as I was distracted by the season premiere of Heroes. I'm totally hooked on that show. Every episode feels like it could be a movie. And this season (the 3rd) has already introduced a whack of new… Continue reading Work in Progress
acrylic on canvas, 6" X 9" Another new girl! I really love the sassy redheaded Claire. She has the sweetest freckles and never leaves home without her camera. For Claire, the best life is one which is documented, recorded and shared. She'd fit right in here in blogland!
