Summer Reprised

Summer Reprised 12 x 9 acrylic on stretched canvas AVAILABLE

It's November here in Canada, but we've been enjoying some unseasonably warm days. We know, however,  that winter isn't far around the corner, so I thought I'd recall a memory of summer. 

Summer

Summer 12 x 9 acrylic on stretched canvas AVAILABLE

A painting from last summer. Nothing beats the wild abandon of leaping off a dock. Life at the cottage is all about joys such as this.

Amber Eyes

Amber Eyes  10 x 8 soft pastel on Canson paper  SOLD

We are finally having some summer-like weather, and it's playing havoc with my daily painting resolution. To disguise my procrastinator's embarassment I'm posting this vibrant little pastel. It sold in one of my gallery shows.

Odissi Dancer

Odissi Dancer 8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas  SOLD

Done for a fund-raiser, this little dancer was great fun and so very colorful to paint. Fulfilling our purpose, she promptly found a buyer and danced off to her new home.

Figurative Study

Figurative Study 20 x 20 oil on stretched canvas  NFS

This was a figurative study done in preparation for a gallery show. As it turned out, I never ended up developing a more finished painting, but decided to keep the study.

Demure

Demure 12 x 9 soft pastel on Canson paper  SOLD

This little pastel quickly sold, but I'm working on more small classic nudes in oil and acrylic.

Slipper Bath

Slipper Bath 20 x 16 oil on stretched canvas  SOLD

I love doing these paintings of classic nudes that evoke an earlier time. Fortunately, my wonderful model can adopt a marvelous vintage look. 

Blue Reflections

Blue Reflections 10 x 8 acrylic on stretched canvas  SOLD

A small acrylic portrait study of a favorite model -- who is also a friend and fellow artist.

Shannon

Shannon 20 x 16 oil on canvas board  NFS

This oil painting of a lovely, fresh-faced young woman began as a demonstration and ended as a finished portrait.
