Dinosaurs and Dragons

The kids did the backgrounds after I had masked off a section. Once dry, I outlined the masked off section and made whimsical creatures. What fun! 

Garden roses

The roses from my garden--chalk pastel 8x10.

Ocean waves practice piece

So I learned by studying waves every chance I get. I love them!

Anne and Stuart's Wisteria

Their garden is the most gorgeous in the neighbourhood! They have the best flowers.

Fraser Valley Tulips

Another acrylic with my new paints (professional quality from Opus), moulding paste and a heavy gel medium. 

Purple Haze

This was an experimental piece to test new paints, moulding paste and gel mediums. I was pleasantly surprised 

Hicks Lake Waterfall

This chalk pastel is a quiet little point where I sat in peace. I remember the chatter of squirrels, birds and the soft sound of the waterfall. I tried to capture this softness with the light and the use of chalk, one of the softest mediums.
