Humber River at Dusk

Daisy Layer 2


The features of Daisy's face have a bit more detail now. Next, I will tune up the background, add highlights to her eyes and refine here and there.

Daisy - First Layer


I haven't been posting as frequently as I had intended, because I have been working on several larger projects and I haven't been working on my small works much.

This is one of the paintings that is in progress and it is taking shape, but needs more work. Doing small paintings fairly frequently has improved my painting overall, I feel. My brush strokes are bolder and I am faster and I can mix and choose color more confidently.

This is Daisy, a most adorable beagle. I will post the completed work.

House on a Hill



This lonely little shell of a farm house always fascinated me as I drove past it on my jaunts to visit my horse. It had a solitary beauty that always made me gaze at it as I passed by. I used a tiny bit of complementary violet to the largely yellow hue of this painting. I think my style is getting looser. It sure seems that I am getting better at communicating through my paint brushes with the right "creative" side of my brain.
