Frank Mitchell’s Farm
Farm machinery is tricky. I thought I’d emulate Frank who always seems to pick the unusual to paint.
This is the one I did first – looking out to the Juan de Fuca Strait. What a beautiful view from this piece of paradise!
Violet on the Deck
I’m happiest with this portrait, as I was able to fuss less and enjoy more! Each time I paint I learn something.
Helen on Her Front Porch
The third in my series of grandchildren’s portraits.
Eva on the Day We Got Books
Originally I painted this as a full body picture, but I couldn’t get parts of it right. At home, working from a photo I did just the head and shoulders. Loving the practice!
Theo’s Basketball
This one was done as a birthday portrait! I am enjoying painting people because it is a challenge.
Sea and Land
The sea seemed to melt into the land today – the choppy waves reflected the colours of the grasses and rock, as bits of wood bobbed about on the surface.
The Pinks
The world was pink this day. While my artist’s eye sees the pink as somewhat unusual and unique, the knowing part of me thinks about the forest fires that are increasing with climate change. Yes, I can see the beauty – and I must also be mindful of my impact on the world.
Wind and Water
My granddaughters at Elk Island Park – what a gorgeous day in July!
Almost Summer
It was a perfect time with the Al Frescoes at Beaver Lake Ponds – just a few days before the summer equinox.
