Beauty in my World: February 2013

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.

Griffin& Bear Step 5

Here I have worked some more on his hair which looked quite red in the photo but is actually blonde so I will need to lighten it. I used Yellow ochre to try to lighten it but will need to work on it futher . I have also added more color to his face & ears.

Griffin & Bear WIP Step 4

Here I have worked so more on Griffins Face & hair. Bear has been outlined by the shirt & four wheeler. I have also added a pale wash of Lemon Yellow to bear.

Griffin & Bear WIP step 2

Tonight I finally got back to my watercolors. I have added some yellow undertones to the skin and done the rest of the first layer of Griffins shirt.

Temby, South Wales

This is a watercolor painting I did for my Step daughter Sharon's fortieth birthday.(July 29th)
I just gave it to her when we visited Wales in Jan. She seemed very pleased with it. Temby is one of her favorite places and she hopes to live there one day. We went for a drive with her and her oldest daughter Lauren to visit Temby when we were over.
I did this from a photo she had on Facebook.
