Lots happening this Month. Always nice to start the year with a sold painting to someone who shares a love of Blue Jays.
So far paintings that I have been working on this year include : a few new miniature paintings . Each painting is done on a 4 x 4 canvas. Although a small canvas each painting takes hours to complete. I am trying new techniques and subjects that are more of a challenge for me:buildings, landscape and trees. :)
I am designing paintings for a new event Painter's Palate: Canvas ,Paint and Wine. I chose the Emperor Penguins as a relatively simple painting to accomplish for beginners as well as an appropriate subject for a valentine themed painting. It involves simple shapes and few colors. Although a simple design, participants will learn : blending, shading, and detailing. This image is a cropped portion and participants are encouraged to add in their own unique style or colors.
Working also on a series of whimsical Party Animals. This is the first one and still not complete ...detailing...always detailing.
Working on a graphite pet portrait. Lots to do layers upon layers. Need to fix that eye :) What a cute puppy.
Started working on some Cigar Box designs for a special project. I will post soon. Also working on watercolor illustrations for two very Special Projects .
A few Murals coming up. Need to finish them February and March. Will post as they are completed or as a work in progress.
School in Art Therapy not quite complete so I will be helping the APHTK(Association des personnes handicappe) along with the coordinator of the Train Station Museum to set up their first art show. After over a year working with them, thrilled to be able to display their art work and honour their accomplishments.
Midway into the year and busy which is great! Hopefully starting my final project in Art Therapy and finally graduate with a Masters level diploma in Art Therapy...Yay!!!!!
