The Next Step

The picture of this painting was taken in Guelph Ontario.  These are my sister's neighbourhood community layers, super friendly and they were such characters!  What fun to paint.  <3


Feeding Frenzy

18" x 36", arcylic on canvas, For sale


I love these guys!  I had to write about this one. These are chickens from a french (not quebecois!) farmer who lives in the Saguenay area in Quebec (actually she was french and he was quebecois, but they were her chickens ;) ).  There were maybe 50 chickens of all different breeds going crazy for the latest feeding time.  They were awesome little guys with great colour, shape and movement. There was even a little white fluff-ball chicken (not featured here) significantly smaller than all of the rest- so ridiculous! It was overcast when I was taking the picture for this painting so I had to adjust the contrast and colour intensity when I was painting to make it more interesting.  This one took me 24hours to paint...I normally don't talk about this or track it really, but this was a looooong one for me. I am very happy with the result!  Hope you enjoy it too :)

Scratching Among the Scrap
Acrylic on Canvas, 12" x 12" SOLD

It has been a while since I have painted!  Too long.  This is a painting of a picture my friend Deb took.  We spent the Canada Day Long weekend painting in her studio....what a treat for me :).  I love the little chicken hiding amongst the tall grass.The hen in the front also has quite the saucy posture going on- love it.

Holstein Cows
Acrylic on Canvas, 12" x 24" SOLD
  Private Sale 2013


This is experimentation at it's best!  I first created a sketch of the cows from a picture and painted an under painting.  I then took an icing piper filled it with paint and created all of the outlines in the painting.  Then I added in the colour and voila!  Super fun.
