Gibraltarian Lighthouse

We camped at Art on the Farm. It is so beautiful there. I wish we could live in the Colimbia Valley too. And this is what I painted on the first night. It's a small acrylic (6x6).

Baby Story Time

Here's my baby at about 8 months old. She was attentively listening to Chilliwack Library's Baby Story Time while wearing a styling toque that was a gift from my officemate Lori. I believe the top was from Silvia or Ana too -- I'm sure one of them were trying to inspire her to be a ballerina. 

The piece is about 8.5 x 10 inches and is done in graphite.

Homeless Crow

I was inspired by my neighbourhood crows who were recently displaced after a grand old English Birch was chopped down a couple of months ago on my neighbours' property. I'm sure they hate us humans now and I swear the crows sit in our cedar and are staring where their home used to be. They are very vocal and caw their dismay at us. Painting is 2 - 20x16 canvasses in acrylic. I used quite a bit of retarder to get the sky blended.

More cards

With more of Kid art.

Making Cards

We had a great weekend! Our project since yesterday was making cards. She helped my stamping her hand over and over in many colours. Grandma lovingly helped.

These were signed on the back as hand painted by The kid and assembled by Yoda and Dobby- our 2 dogs.

Art time

Well, it's been a busy time around here. Full time work, battling the flu and colds on all fronts (I recently learned what it means to have a toddler with projectile vomit), and two little dogs (one who suffered a recent severe allergic reaction which involved an emergency vet visit)--all this means that I haven't had time to draw or paint.

However, we got crafty today. We made egg carton tulips and did some fingerpainting.

The final product--egg carton tulips

Finger printing art with stamps too

The playroom!

I finished the playroom in October just prior to my return to work after my maternity leave. It was fun and took me approximately 3 weeks to paint.
