Beauty in my World: November 2012

About Me

Location: Quispamsis, Canada

I am mainly a watercolor and Pastel artist but I am open to various mediums. I have been painting since 1992. I have travelled alot and have sold works and prints internationally. My works have also won awards. I used to be a member and for a short time president of a local art club however I found the Politics and Personalities interfered too much with my time that could be put into my work. I live on the east coast of Canada and I paint our local beauty as well as the Carribean and the Mediterranean.

Lola

I have spent a couple of sessions working om this cat that belongs to a patient of mine. It is done on 5x7 300lb arches paper.. She is a very pretty cat that likes to sit and watch while I visit her owner. Lola is very important to her owner so I painted her as a surprise
I started with pale washes of pink for her ears then light umber for her fur. I next used Faber Castell Pitt pen in black to do her eyes and some of her fur. I mixed my own blacks and browns and layered her fur. The white is an inktence white pencil and her whiskers are FW white acrylic ink..
