Parked out back

A quaint scene from Amherst Island.  Lovely little tractor really.  I enjoy the kiss of sunshine it is getting at the top.

Little One on the Run, SOLD

Acrylic on Canvas, 8" x 8", Cornerston Exhibition 

This painting is quite special.  I am glad it sold becasue it is quite sweet to look at.  This is one of my Buff Orpingtons running through my back yard through the dappled light created by the sun shining through the overhanging willow. 

Feeding the Flock

Acrylic on Canvas, 12" x 12", for sale

This is my friend Kristen feeding all of her chickens in all of their glory!  When she lived on the island, she had so many different species of chickens, it was awesome.  There were lots of little bantam roosters (mini chickens), chickens with feathers coming out of their feet, large red roosters, I could go on-it was quite exotic really.  Anyways the lighting at this time of day in her back yard is exquisite- how could I not paint this one.  I really enjoy the brushstrokes in this piece especially like the brushstrokes in the warm brownish orange under painting which is why I left so much of it exposed.

Big 'n' Tall - SOLD

Acrylic on Canvas 12" x 16", Cornerstone Exhibit

I find this painting amusing.  I am really starting to get into the character of the cows.  There are so many different shapes sizes and expressions; I just love to attempt to capture their personalities.  This was painted from a photograph of cows on Wolfe Island.

Shady hot day at the cottage SOLD

6" x 12", Mixed medial  (acrylic, paper towel, tin foil, water colour paper) on canvas

Stone Heron Gallery

 This is an abstracted nature piece similar to one I have posted previously and completed around the same time.  It is the view from my cottage looking out over the water.  I find mixed medial fun to do and the textures are quite rewarding.

Cluckey Cluster, SOLD

12" x 12", Acrylic on canvas

Stone Heron Gallery summer exhibition. 

Chickens!  I loved the lighting in this one.  It is a much earlier painting completed in 2010 and really neat to look back and see how my style has developed and changed. 

Dappled Light, SOLD

12" x 12", Acrylic on canvas

Stone Heron Gallery

This piece is an impressionistic depiction of a small house beside a road on Amherst island.  I have always loved patterns in nature, dappled light is one patter that I could look at for hours!  Instead of the sidewalk being grey, instead I see purples, blues, yellows, and reds.  The shapes and patters and  irregular shapes captivate me.
