I painted the more formal gardens with established structure of Van Dusen Botanical Gardens. I had to paint this piece in a hurry as one of the gardeners asked me to move.
Pink Daze 8 x 10, oil on cradled panel
Yellow Faces 8 x 10, oil on canvas board
I painted this little piece in the Sunflower Garden in Van Dusen Botanical Gardens. The Sunflower faces all look towards the sun.
Remembering the Pioneer Inn 6 x 6 oil on board
So many great memories of the wonderful little town of Lahaina, Maui. The fire that destroyed the town of Lahaina, Maui is now a sad fact of life and will always be hard to accept.
Fields of Daffs 6 x 6, acrylic on dura-lar
The daffodil fields in Chilliwack are a lovely sight to see! I painted this from photos I took when the daffs were in bloom.
Hydrangeas 6 x 6 acrylic on dura-lar
Hydrangeas again, I can’t stop myself…so fun to paint!
Shades of White 6 x 6 acrylic on dura-lar
The white Hydrangeas are in full bloom! One of my favourites!
Yellow Buttons 6 x 6, acrylic on dura-lar
With so many lovely flowers out in bloom this time on year it is nice to take advantage of what is in the garden to set up a bouquet for painting!
Pink and Purple 6 x 6, acrylic on dura-lar
I set up my light box with a few different floral bouquets. Here is the result and I am pretty happy with it! A prelude to a larger piece, perhaps. This was my first time painting on dura-lar, it is very smooth and the brush flows around the flowers with ease. Very Fun!!
No Place Like Home – SOLD 8 x 10, oil on board
Right in my own backyard, so close to home. Lovely to paint in the shade and observe the filtered sun patterns change momentarily throughout the day!
Air Stream – SOLD 8 x 10, oil on board
I have always loved the look of an Air Stream trailer. Such a classic! This one often parks close to where I often walk and the reflections on its walls are very fun to paint!
