Week Nine. A Painting A Week

So here is Week Nine selection, titled Iowa. I am a couple of days late posting, photos took a while to be available. It is acrylic, about 40x60. I like the depth in this piece, photo doesn't really give the best effect

Week Eight

Week Eight of A Painting A Week:   This is a stained tissue paper collage about 8x10, titled Red Sun. I have always liked the effect of this type of collage.

Week Seven

This week I am showing "The Jungle" . Acrylic and about 24x24 inches, this type of painting is layers of fluid acrylic, all painted with a foam brush( dollar store variety).  Very intuitive process.

Week Six of A Painting A Week

So I bet you thought I forgot! No just busy today. This small painting was created in a workshop with Eric Atknison at Bijans. It was a thrill to work with Eric and such fun throwing sand around.

A Painting a Week

So I have decided to post a painting a week hopefully for one year! I was inspired by a book titled One Painting a Day but decided that was too ambitious for me to do. I am starting on Monday March 31and hope to continue for 12 months. Some might be new and others older - just hoping they will be enjoyed.
Look forward to Mondays post!!

Pouring paint!

Going to do some pouring of acrylics today at Guthries. If you are interested it's a drop-in event, $10 from 1-4 pm. Or come on April 14 for a full class 1-4pm, $40 + materials, with new techniques and mediums?

The pictures!

Here are the photos!

Awesome weekend!

Just spent an awesome weekend doing a workshop with Brian Smith at the Arts Project. The topic was figurative abstraction. Really touch for me as I rarely do people. It was however an eye opening and mind expanding couple of days. I took some photos but can't source them as yet. I will post soon.

Collage!

This is my miniature that is at Westland Gallery, London, On. Opening is tonight at 7.30.  If you think you might like to try collage I will be offering a six week course starting March 25 at the Arts Project, Dundas St. London, On.

The Look of Things to Come

Here is a little journal I made using a full sheet of watercolour paper, some paint and some collage. I will be teaching a workshop on this method on March3, at Guthries Framing and Art Supply in London, On. Check their web site or give them a call if you are interested.

Neglect and new art!

Poor blog! I have been neglectful and not posted or visited in some time. I will try to do better in the future. I think I will post a picture of the box miniature I have made for the Westland Gallery in London,On. The show opens on February 21, 7.30 pm. I have titled it " The Mood Box" and the viewer can choose which side to turn to each day. The pictures are somewhat related to the season and weather( an all consuming topic in Canada).
Collage and mixed media are the processes used, it is 3x3x4 inches.

Winter paintings!

Winter!

Here are the paintings!

Winter

I was hoping to share some photos of winter paintings of mine but can't seem to add the photos to the blog. Sigh--- technology has defeated me again!

Winter Artmosphere

Come to St. Aidan's church , 1246 Oxford Street West on Saturday, December 7, from 9-4 pm. Seven great artists including my self will be selling art, art cards and gifts. Something different for the holidays.

Rocks of New Mexico

Much of New Mexico is rock formations, of all colours and shapes. In this case there were signs asking us to respect the Rock Garden! Great textures for art creations.
