Sign of a good days work! My painting palette (aka small plate) looking like a colorful disaster :)

Finally the temperature is warm enough to discard a few layers and be outside. I'm determined to utilize my new deck and take full advantage of the sun!

I texturized a large 24" x 72" canvas. This will be a custom piece for a Fort McMurray home of a dear friend. Further postings to come :)

Happy Monday!

Finally the finishing touches of this calla lily are complete. I worked late into the night last night until it was done.

Before I have even varnished (or had time for coffee)it has sold! S will be hanging this piece in her dining room in a few short weeks after I complete wiring and varnishing and photographing.

Thank to everyone (this time particularly S) for supporting local art! I'm humbled that you love the results of something that makes me so happy to create!

I've decided it's time for a change. I love abstract work but I love to paint more realistic pieces as well. I'm working on a group of paintings. Here is a look at their progression. I'm hoping to complete both this week.
