Painting #243 - I really enjoyed painting the river bank in this piece. I like the design of the three distinct areas in the foreground: the underground, the water and shadows, and the bank.

Painting #242 - I thought I'd paint a bit bigger this time. I like the loose strokes in the background, however, I'm still struggling with my foreground deciduous trees. These will have to do for now.

Painting #239 - I'm continuing with my small paintings. I used an analogous colour scheme of blue, green and purple. I like the roots in the foreground and continue to enjoy the freedom I feel while painting these small pieces.

Painting #237 - I was playing around with inks and this is a photo transfer of the same piece I did on watercolour paper (which I like better). I have great memories of New Hamburg's fall fair when I was I kid and that's what I tried to capture.

Again, I added so branches and leaves in the foreground, which provides more interest and depth to the painting.

I decided to change a few of my paintings that have been in my inventory for a while. In this painting I added some warm coloured leaves to represent the change of season. I also added some "jewels" - their shine really catches my eye!

Painting #233 - This was a commissioned piece, which really pushed me because of its size and "trying to get it right" for my clients. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good photo before it went to its new home!

Painting #232 - I don't think this painting is finished. I'm experimenting with skies because I have a commissioned sky painting. I struggle with leaving the canvas so "simple" ... why do I want to see more? I like the calmness presented here but a part of me is saying, "so what?". I need help ...

Painting #230 - I'm participating in a show called Cultivation of Art at Vales Greenhouse in Black Diamond from June 23-25th. I thought my body of work should include a tractor. These little red guys are hard to find so I used an existing picture I had that was taken by a colleague. Hope to see you at the show!

Painting #227 - I just wanted to try something different. It was difficult to integrate the girl's face into the landscape but I'm happy with the turn out. Its different - different is good, right? lol
