Christmas Card

This is a watercolor painting i did several years ago of a house that is stone and looks like a castle.
I always loved the way it was decorated for Christmas with the toy soldiers lining the stairway.
I have been very busy the past couple of months with other projects so I decided to use it for my Christmas card this year.
It is presently at the printers.

King St. East Nov.28th Finished

Finished this painting on the weekend so my husband could get it in the post to our oldest son today. Jay will be able to take it to Myra in Manila when he visits in Jan.

Hope you like it Jay!!

I ended up not just using watercolor but then used some white FW Acrylic Artist ink to accent the snow on the trees and ground.

It was good I did not have alot of time as I tend to put too much detail when I do.

Please leave me your comments.

King St. East WIP Step 2

I struggle to paint loose but always feel I need to put in more detail to make the scene believable.

I want to get this off to my son the first of next week so I must get back at it.

So much I want to do and so little time.

King St. East WIP

This is step one of King St. East in Saint John. It is a winter scene that a friend of mine Al Gangon had taken a photo of our 1st snow fall on Nov.28th and gave me permission to use in a painting.

This painting will be 8"x17" so it does not perfectly fit my cameras format.

I am doing it to send to my oldest son Jason in Fort mcMurray to take to his girlfriend in Manila, Phillipines in Jan. for a gift.

Kingston Creek (Winterwonderland 3)

This is the fourth painting I have for Saint Davids Show. It is mixed media of watercolor and Pastel

I painted this before Christmas last year to put on my filing cabinet over my desk at work.

It is on 300lb. watercolor paper so I couldnot get it to stay on without a heavier tape so I brought it home . A few weeks ago I decided to fram it.

It is now cropped so the bush at the left is gone and the bottom half of the bush on the right is also covered with mat.

It measures 21X12 and is framed 31x22.

I do not really like winter but I love winter paintings.

Fawn on Christmas Eve

I worked Christmas Eve at my nursing job.

When I was going to see a patient on Darlings Island I was blessed to see a whole family of deer at a home on the Island.

When I slowed my car down to look at them this one looked at me and I took this photo. She then started to come over to the car and so did her twin sister.

People in the area must be feeding them as they were very tame. If I had food for them I am sure they would have eaten from my hand.

I plan on painting her!!!!
