Studio Blog Makeover

Please don't mind the mess.... I've decided to do a little spring cleaning/makeover on the blog today. Soo.... out with the old and in with the new! And, when I'm don't I suppose I should pay attention to the puppy.

Back to Apple Splash

It has been a really (really) long time since I've put brushes to this painting... though I think I am now ready to finish this painting and get it on the wall! I spent some time toning down the colours and giving it a more "Macintosh Apple" feeling. I've also been working on the 'water' feature on the lower right hand side.... I've decided it is too distracting it is going away. Overall... its starting to look pretty darn snazzy.

Colourful Perch - Bird #35

I haven't forgotten about my 100 Birds in 100 Days Challenge... but, I am going to have to extend my deadline (which has come and gone) and perhaps just rename it the 100 Bird Challenge. Anywho... here is Bird #35, my first bird in a little while. I have a couple more on the go that will be posted in the near future.

Active Pass - Finished Painting of the BC Coast

Some of the subtle colours were lost in the photographing of this painting (I'll try again later with a different camera).... but, I am happy to say that it is finished. This is based off a photograph taken on of the many ferry rides from Vancouver to Victoria along a section called active pass. Many of the trips over were during the 'off' season, spring and fall when the marine mists hung heavily to the coast and the water was almost perfectly still. It is an incredible place that I hope to return to someday.
