Painting #147 - I found this truck nestled in the trees in someone's yard while I was out for a walk. I don't think it has been driven in years! A nice little addition to the collection.

Painting # 146 - Another truck to paint thanks to my colleague Ken who provided me with the photo. I like it and continue to be surprised at how difficult these little guys are to paint!

Painting #145 - Again, this painting was inspired from a photograph from Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park. I used Photoshop to enhance colours and tried to create a "sparkle"! I think I almost "got it"!

Painting #143 - This painting was from a photo I had taken while visiting Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park. I used a Photoshop app to enhance the colours and then played them up a bit more with paint.

Painting #142 - My niece took the reference photo for this painting while we were on an Alaskan cruise. I'm happy with my trees and I really like the pop of orange in the background.

Painting #141 - This painting comes as a surprise to me. I say that because it didn't come from my brain - it just emerged from me. I used a reference photo that I had taken from Stratford, Ontario but the photo was entirely green. I like the red .... I think (:

Painting #139 - I enjoyed painting this landscape - I think it shows. I noticed that my marks are expressive. There seems to be a lot of energy in this painting... it must be my inner self because that wasn't my intention.

Painting #138 - Well, I do like the end result but boy oh boy was this tractor difficult for me to paint. From the angle of the tires to the details in the engine - I think my eyes "hurt" after this one! I like the pipe and the blue can!

Painting #137 - This is my final example for the Revive project. Here I've used analogous colours instead of primary colours like my previous example. The "grace" card I chose was "watch" and thus, I incorporated this word by using  zentangle patterns in each letter.

Painting # 135 - My colleague gave me a picture of Gull Lake. I used its best features - sky, lake and trees, to create this little painting of a warm summer day.

Painting #135 - This was a fun painting to complete, however, all of those angles were tough! Thanks to my colleague Ken who provided me with the picture.

Painting #134 - This painting is inspired by another one of my colleague's photographs. I think I'm in the painting stage of trying to go tight so that I can go "loose." Yes, its a very traditional painting. I feel I need to go here so that I can get to the place of going loose with lots of colour.... I need to understand the realistic landscape before I move on to a more exciting imaginary landscape (I think!!).

Painting #129 - I'm not sure why, but this painting was challenging. I wanted to add colour instead of grey for shadows but the painting aways felt like something was missing. I needed a painting partner for this project!

Painting #128 - The rain drops were a bit challenging and I'm still not happy with them - I'll try them again in another painting. I like the colour palette.
