WEEK 8 - Gulls on ice - Oil on canvas - 10" x 10"

SOLD

Went for a walk along the waterfront in downtown Kelowna and saw these seagulls congregating on the ice near the marina. It was a great day and kind of felt like spring.

I want to capture the little things that we often miss because we are too busy. It is in this that I find my challenges as an artist, to take everyday experiences and turn them into paintings. Hope you enjoy!

I'm a bit early posting this painting.

WEEK 7 - Winter Rest _Oil on Canvas - 10" x 10"

Sold to a private Collection
We have a bird feeder outside our kitchen window and we get lot of enjoyment watching the chickadees feed throughout the winter. I gave my daughter the task of naming this one and she calls it "Winter Rest".

I have been at this now for seven weeks and my days seem full as I explore new mediums and paint every day inspirations.

Thank you again for all those that have been supportive and encouraging. If you haven't yet left a comment please do so. I look forward to your responses.

WEEK 6 - Wood Stock - Oil on Canvas 10" x 10"

Sold to a private Collection
Our winter here has delivered a bit more snow than usual. Our neighbor took a tree down and piled the wood along the side of the road, with all the snow we've had I thought it made for a great painting.
