Rainy Day Reds SOLD
12 x 12
oil on canvas
This painting was done on a day like today, drizzling with rain and dark and gloomy. I liked the moody setting though, at eye level on a window sill, and my challenge was to catch the light coming through the grapes as well as bouncing off the highly reflective bowl. Had a lot of fun with this one and it was juried into a Federation of Canadian Artists show - a first for me. Yeah!

oil on canvas board
This piece was started on a plein air outing and finished in the studio. It was a cool misty morning and the colors were muted but the reflections had me mesmerized. This painting along with a few others are now hanging in a gallery in Oliver, another first for me. These days have been busy with many new adventures. Soon I will have a photography exhibit hanging as well in a local book shop. What amazes me is the amount of administration that goes along with the creative part. I can now see why artists often need someone to help manage the business.
