Full Circle

Full Circle
20x20"
Acrylic on Canvas
Painting #67 - I saw this tree while on a run through the park and thought it would be lovely to paint. The original tree was mostly yellow but I found the painting was too dull without the reds and the oranges.

12x24"

Painting #66 - Another fun painting that came together quickly. Its amazing what one can do when they have a show around the corner! I like the sense of space in this painting and the colours really represent the changing of the season.

From the Roots

Painting #65 - This was a fun painting to complete. Everything just fell into place and I'm happy with the results. The painting reminds me of a friend's cottage on Lake Huron that my family would visit when I was a kid. The trees rested on a high cliff and we had to take a long flight of stairs down to the beach.

Painting #64 - This painting came together quickly. My business, Beacon Original Art, was having its 5th show on October 22nd and I hardly had any new work to show. I used the fall colours around me to create this painting.
