Iris are so architectural with all the folds and sections that make up the blooms. This one was challenging but I think it turned out okay.

I have some news to pass along. I am teaching at Colour Crush Art Studio in Stony Plain this fall. If you are interested in learning how to paint dynamic still life paintings, this class is for you. Checkout the side of my blog for details. Or go to Colour Crush Art Studio website and click the link to my information page.

Also want to pass along I have my work up on Daily Paintworks. If you want to find original art this site is full of it! My work is in the All Art section usually on pages 2 or 3.

Thanks for viewing my art!

Ode to Orange

Oil on two inch profile gallery wrapped stretched canvas

A funny thing happened with this one. I really didn't want to paint with orange. I was so focused on that that it was all I could think about so I got it out of my system and went all the way orange with it!

I have become quite fascinated, well maybe the better word is obsessed, with the science behind light. I am on a journey of capturing the perfect balance between dark and light, discovering that one can not exist without the other and more so how to convey their ways of coexisting. Yes I am speaking of the capturing of light to the canvas however this is so true of life. I have been living in a bit of dark place lately however there is a movement toward light, partially because spring is finally here, but also because of some personal choices. LIfe is brighter and somehow I want to capture that. I am captivated by light and want to celebrate it!

An unassuming set up, no one object here is really vying for your attention. Somehow it seems to work.
