Di's Orchids

Didn't do any painting this week. ? Don't know why. No inspiration. Thought I'd post a set of 3 I did for my daughter Diana. Done in 2007 for her hair salon. 15 x 30 acrylic on canvas times 3

Bliss

Quick study, watercolor 9 x 12, of my granddaughter Claudia enjoying a moment at the waterpark. Used a few new techniques and I quite like how it turned out. Mind you the subject is so fantastic. I love doing my grand babies. Seems to be my new painting obsession. I should get permission from their parents though. Strange, for 18 years my daughters were asked to get my permission. I forget that I should be asking about some things. Thanks Leanne & Chad for letting me paint your babies.

Beach Bum Babes

Spent Saturday evening and Sunday morn in Whitecourt at the Shardlow's (my daughter, her husband and the grand babes) Did a 9 x 11 watercolor of Norelle & Gillian on the beach.

Eastwood Fest - Saturday, August 15, 2009

Just got a call to join in the Artwalk / Sale portion of Eastwood Fest. It's from 11am to 7pm 118 Avenue between 82nd & 87th streets. Free Family Event.

The Moose

Tried another wildlife for colleague at work.

Deakyn

Finally finished the watercolor of Deakyn, Laurie's (fabulous partner at work) grandson. I really am happy with how it turned out. Started this painting last fall and put it aside when I got busy with other projects. I am so happy I waited. Maybe it was meant to be that I needed to wait that long to get the final result. Hope Laurie and her family enjoy it.

Bruce's Eagle

Latest painting was done for Bruce Nichol who I work with. It's a 13 x 19 watercolor of a bald eagle in the early sunrise.
