Oldie but Goodie

In 2013, we made a spontaneous trip up north to Algonquin Park at the end of September. Us (my hubby, me, the kids and the dog), and thousands of others. The campgrounds were packed and buses were dropping off people like ants to candy. I had never seen anything like it. 
Why was everyone rushing there, you ask. 
The weather was amazing (sunny and warm) and the leaves were perfect (the fall colour was striking). The warm air created fog in pockets in the hills, it was breathtaking.
I have painted this picture before but I wanted to try again.
Below you can see the process.

Spring Rhythm

This is another one of my faves! It's a softer Spring piece but there is something almost musical about the flow throughout. The yellow flowers were trimmed from my rosebush out in the front yard. The rest of the arrangement came from Creekview Floral, who do amazing bouquets and arrangements.  "Spring Rhythm" 12 x 16 oil on canvas This one needs a new home!

Iris (19-14)

Another iris for the collection. This is a part of the spring collection that I am working on. I kept the background simple so the focus was on the main attraction, the bloom. The purple is a deep variation of colour and the top of the bloom is a gauzy white.  This artwork could work in any room. It's small size allows for it to be a part of a larger compilation or in smaller spaces such as hallways, kitchen, or bathrooms. Iris (19-14) 6" by 6" oil on canvas board Click to buy with Paypal
