Added the silhouette of the goddess Athena into the painting and varnished it so it’s done 😅

Mercury retrograde 🤔 I don’t know but I was still unsatisfied with the owl. Third time is the charm I guess … I had to put Athena in there and I did with some trepidation. The lines make more sense as columns and tree branches. #owl #athena #abstractrealism #cdnartshare #mythology #painting

Bistro, mixed media on canvas board, 8x12. Stylized honeybees and flowers. Gold leafing, impasto and modelling clay to give the painting texture.

Yesterday I wanted to try my acrylic pours. Well my cat decided why not sit on the board. Nothing awful, easy to clean up her and the board. She made a large black mess that looked like a bee. The Bistro (pun intended). #mixedmedia #bees #artshare #cdnartshare #canuckcreatives #painter #artist

Expressionistic painting in bright colours of a greyhound, donated for a fund raising auction.

Greyhound, bright, acrylic painting for a fund raising auction.

Miss my old studio space because I could close the door to the creative mess. Animal charity auction painting. They asked for bright, bold, simple paintings. I ended up with 3 more similar commissions. #dogs #animals #painter #canadianartist #greyhound #cdnartshare #canuckcreatives #animalartist

Painting of a barn (early night) and sheep. The sheep are looking at the viewer to suggest they’ve been interrupted.

Sheep Interrupted, acrylic on canvas (sold). I look back at this and see the irony, before the world went mad moments 🤯 not at all what was in my head when I painted it. #art #painting #canadianart #blueskyart #barns #sheep #cdnartshare #artist #animalpainting #farm
