The Buddha Tree – WIP3

30 x 30 – Acrylic on Wood It’s a blustery day with wet snow but I’m deep into some reds and purples and don’t really notice. I’m working on some of the shadowed areas of this tree – I want to make sure all the colours I want to use fit properly.

The Buddha Tree – WIP2

30 x 30 – Acrylic on Wood Speaking of spring, tomorrow we’re supposed to get a couple of centimetres of snow – go figure. But I’m lost in autumn right now anyways so I probably won’t notice. Here’s a bit more of this tree. Parts of it are in light and parts in shadow so [...]

The Buddha Tree – WIP1

30 x 30  – Acrylic on Wood I know what you’re thinking – it’s a tree! And you would be right. Another painting of my favourite time of year, and a perfect day to just be.

Cascade – WIP5

18 x 24 – Acrylic on wood Now that it’s spring, we’re expecting some snow – lol. I’m resisting the urge to paint another winter painting though. I added in a little more of the background flowers this session. Lots of emphasis on the shapes and their relationships – I’m less concerned with realism at [...]

Cascade – WIP4

18 x 24 – Acrylic on wood The flowers are set against dark shadows of blue and maroon – bits of light try to make their way to the blossoms but it’s too far.

Cascade – WIP3

18 x 24 – Acrylic on Wood The dappled sun paints parts of these new blossoms but they are mostly influenced by the cool shady spot in which they have found themselves.

Cascade – WIP2

18 x 24 – Acrylic on Wood These flowers are nestled in a quietly dark place. Some of the blossoms float in deeper shadow.
