Hockley Valley 12 x 16 – Acrylic on Wood Hmm, I think the first couple shots I took are a little green. The sky is really more purple than turquoise – so this image is a more true representation of the actual painting – at least on my monitor.

Hockley Valley 12 x 16 – Acrylic on Wood The branches of the dead tree remind me more and more of the steel plant in Hamilton. We drive the skyway often and the plant makes an impressive site. I’ve even taken ref pictures of it – I know it’s not a natural feature of the [...]
Hockley Valley 12 x 16 – Acrylic on Wood Well it’s -10 degrees outside but in Hockley Valley it’s a gorgeous fall day with little fluffy clouds, gentle breezes and the smell of gently rotting leaves. I couldn’t decide what size to make this painting – some of the shapes in the sky are quite [...]
Carmen 18 x 36 – Acrylic on Wood Here is my last painting of 2011 – a very good year if I do say so. I’m still waiting for a picturesque winter day that I can immortalize in digital film and hopefully paint. But until then I have a few others waiting to be painted. [...]
Carmen 18 x 36 – Acrylic on Wood Only a few days left ’til 2012! I can hardly believe how quickly this year has flown by! I’ve only a little left of this painting too! I guess this will be the last of 2011. No worries though as I have about a zillion paintings planned [...]
Carmen 18 x 36 – Acrylic on Wood I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday! I’m finding lots of time for family and friends, but I’m still managing to squeeze in some painting too! I have moved to the top of the tree where the branches thin out and you can see glimpses of [...]
Carmen 18 x 36 – Acrylic on Wood It’s looking like we’ll have a green Christmas for sure this year. That’s ok since we will be doing some visiting and that will make driving easier. I do like those first few hours after a snowfall when everything is glittery and pristine. But I can [...]
Carmen 18 x 36 – Acrylic on Wood Unseasonably mild means still no snow, so no thoughts of winter paintings are entering my head. (Just as well as I have a few more fall ones I want to do. ) I did a little exploring on the background to see how it’s going to look, [...]
Carmen 18 x 36 – Acrylic on Wood A beautiful late fall weekend, no snow yet but the air is crisp and the leaves crunch underfoot. I haven’t been taking many photos as this time of year feels very in-between to me – the deep colours of earlier fall are gone, but the contrast of [...]
Carmen 18 x 36 – Acrylic on Wood Another cool and rainy fall day is underway – makes all my working with red that much more fun! I’m just letting the shapes pick themselves at this stage. Lots of contemplation and a little course correction keep things moving along well.
