Leslie's Birthday Gift


Today is my baby sister's Fiftieth Birthday. These are the paintings I did as a surprise gift for her.
  I did them from photos they posted of their trip in Hawaii.  The first painting is Leslie's wife Colleen walking on the beach and the bottom one is my sister Leslie. They are presently celebrating in the Dominican!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I did this painting several years ago from a thanksgiving table arrangement that I made. Hope you like it.
 The glass vase could stand some improvement but this was one of my early paintings.

September at Duck Pond Beach ( WIP)

I woke up this morning and decided I wanted a day to play. I have not done any plein air painting all summer  and really needed an outing. I phoned my friend and college who usually paints in oils or watercolor to see if she wanted to go with me.
  We went to this beautiful beach on the Fundy shore not far from where I live and although there was a strong breeze off the water we had a great day out.
  we picked up a pizza and came back to my place and worked on them some more.
 We also took time to stop into another artist's home and look at some of her works. What a great day out.
  Will post more when it is done. I also need to finish my Pastel birds.
