"Quarter to Three" (18" x 24" oil on canvas). #art #painting #abstractfigurative #expressionistic

Foraged Blooms, oil on canvas, I started with oil pastels first and colour blocked then went in with oil paints.

I decided that this year I would learn to paint florals in my own artistic style. Florals, trees and landscapes are not second nature to me and in the past I would give up. #expressionistic #floralpainting #flowers #artshare #canadianartist #cdnartshow #canuckcreatives #blooms #abstract

Drying on the easel, before clear coating with a thick gel to create more texture. Firebird, mixed media

Firebird, #mixedmedia #collage. A complete collaged piece, inks and acrylics. Symbolizing the Phoenix and rising from the ashes. Resurgence, freedom. #artshare #canadianartist #cdnartshow #fantasy #expressionistic #canuckcreatives

Kindred Spirit, mixed media in acrylics and inks

Drying on the easel, I have two varnishes I’m going to use. One with little bits of shimmer for the hair and feathers then a clear one for over top.

I don’t paint with red often as a dominant colour. Decided on a darker, moodier painting with acrylics & inks. Kindred Spirit. It’s contemplative, not sad, but lost in deep thoughts. #mixedmedia #raven #corvids #birdpainting #expressionistic #canadianartist #cdnartshow #artshare #canuckcreatives

I got ramblin’ on my mind. Cruising so fast, racing past the edge of fate. I stop at the diner before it’s too late and suck down a Nehi grape! #expressionistic abstract#expressionism#abstract#classiccar#abstractart#blueskyart

Table for One, acrylic on canvas. A poster like painting depicting the diversity of Canada with nods to the past and humour.

Northern Realm, acrylics on canvas. The Canadian north depicted through the polar bear, day and night, pink arctic flowers.

The Luminaries, mixed media. The young bear sitting with friends and sharing stories under the light of a full moon. Portal to another world where the fox and hare magically travel through to meet up with their friend.

Wildflower, mixed media. Earth, Mother Nature as a bear wearing a crown of wildflowers while the bees pollinate the flowers and are her most important workers looking after the planet.

Each time you paint the same animal you incorporate nuisances that give them their own unique personalities. The bear collection so far. #bears #wildlifeart #animals #canadianartist #canuckcreatives #cdnartshow #expressionistic #artshare #whimsical #fantasy #artist #storytelling #illustrative

Acrylic, ink on canvas. Expressionistic. Over active brain late at night pondering world events while enjoying the phases of the moon. Gardens in the early mornings are my favourite coffee spot to sit and listen to nature, slow down and observe.

Pencils and pens, sketched and glazed later with a thin coat of yellow. This is the stage where usually mull things over for a few days.

Owls, gardens, world events, news/media, the moon phases. #abstract One who wakes up early or stays up late, to enjoy the silence of those hours. “Migration of Thoughts”. #owls #birds #wildlifeart #expressionistic #canadianartist #cdnartshow #artist #painter #canuckcreatives #flowers #garden

Somewhat of an art cleanse(acrylic on canvas/sold) titled Bogie, the sarcastic, unamused expression suits the mood lol #dogs #pugs #animals #dogart #animalpainting #expressionistic #artshare #canadianartist #cdnartshow #canuckcreatives #painter

The animals blend with the background giving them an unnatural camouflage. Same set of colours used in all 4 paintings for a cohesive story telling. All the backgrounds are at night. #artshare #painter #animalart #wildlife #wolves #horses #cows #elk #abstract #artist #expressionistic
