Thanks for stopping in, have a great day!

Old Barn Acrylic Painting I Am Also Working On - Work in Progress WIP














I also started this one of a barn I took a picture of the other day over on the Kingston Peninsula. I find even with the acrylic I need more than one to work on. This still has a very long ways to go. I am really starting to enjoy the acrylics, I feel I can be a little looser with the subjects I have been painting lately. I will post an update of the Cardinal as soon as I get a picture. Hope everyone has a great week!

My First Landscape Painting Attempt in Acrylic - Work in Progress














This is my first attempt at painting a landscape, please keep in mind that it is far from done and I am just starting to use acrylics, which i am starting to enjoy more and more. I started taking a 5 week workshop with a local artist Andrew Giffin, who is very helpful and has a wonderful way of working with people. I am hoping that I can get a couple more started so if I run into any problems i can get some help with them over the next few weeks. I started this painting on Wednesday night and only worked on it at home for a bit last night, but I ca see improvement, when i first started it I hated it :(, but as I work on it I think it might just turn into something :)

Cardinal Watercolor Painting I am working on - Still has a long ways to go :)



 This painting still has a lot of work to be done, the background and the bird need a lot of refining still., I am also working on some acrylics too. I will post a picture of my landscape that I am working on a bit later. hope everyone is having a great weekend.

My Latest Painting I am Working on a Chickadee in Acrylic - Finished


I finished this little guy as much as I can for now. I did not get the background the way I wanted but I think practice will solve that problem. This is not a good picture, I varnished it and then realized I should have taken a picture of it first. :(
