Real Life or a Painting?

I was at an outdoor art show the other day and was displaying some of my recent work.  The artists were all sitting down to lunch when a Mountain Bluebird came and perched on my cedar painting.  We were all laughing that the bird had thought it was a tree.  

Progression of Three Paintings

Here are some pictures of two different paintings in progress.  I enjoy taking pictures along the way.  When I paint a commissioned painting I often send the customer some of the "work in progress" pieces when the painting is finished.

Redneck Cabin Art

Since moving to Sundre, Alberta, I have been finding humour and colour in the culture here.  Wild animals make themselves at home right in the town.  I have started a collection of Cabin Art that brings laughter and joy into whatever room the painting is hung.

Currently I'm working on three new pieces to add to the five that are already completed.  I will never stop painting birch trees or mountains, but these provide a nice break and burst of creativity that I need sometimes.

Paintings from this Summer/Fall

Thick Forest in Autumn

Stacked Triptych.  These paintings look great on a small, narrow wall in a house.  I found they bring life to those lifeless corners that are too small for a larger painting.

This was a commission for a couple who had red furniture in their living room.  This was hung above their love seat and it really tied in the colors in the room.  I loved how they coordinated it.

Simple and crisp.  This was a commission for a woman who liked the colors in my work, but wanted something that had less going on.  

I was in our family cabin when I painted this one.  My sister just moved into a log house and I was painting this for her.  If you look out the window of the cabin you can see some of my inspiration.

Autumn Inspiration

My First Solo Art Show.  Here is the Poster.  

Standing beside one of the canvases that was as tall as me.  I felt like I was in a forest as I was painting it.  

This diptych was of a view from an old rundown cabin on a lake in the NWT.
