The Whalers
8 x 10" acrylic

Breaking the surface of  the still waters.  you can glimpse the Orca's  painful past when the whalers appeared....

My newest painting.  Such a sad soulful tale. Whales have been evading man ever since man had boats and spears....he carries this memory in his soul.

Coming Home...First Nations Inspired painting.....aceo

 Coming Home 2.5" x 3.5" acrylic & Ink

I've always been inspired by First Nation Art,  in particular Plains People.  I'm drawn to the beautiful simplicity of it and the very nature of it....For me it's magical.  I used to include a pair of similar styled geese on every envelope I sent a painting in......I don't know why I stopped.... Here is a piece I painted today titled Coming Home.  As always you will find this piece listed on Ebay.  Enjoy

First Frost!!!!! Foxglove and Lace


I started this 20 x 24" painting about 4 or 5  years ago.....I painted the background and then kind of lost my inspiration for it.......I showed it to a group of artist friends and they threw out various suggestions ..mostly to keep the ghostly look of it...  Some suggested even,  that it was finished.   Anyway, I have renewed interest in it, and started working on it again.

 This is what I've done so far....I've added some Queen Anne's Lace at the back, some more blooms (but not many because it's getting late in the season) and have started painting on "frost"......

Fairies are Born
2.5" x 3.5"
acrylic

   My fellow artist and friend Cheryl had painted an African Puff flower.....It reminded me of dandelions gone to seed.  I love dandelions and their seeds floating through the air (as long as it's not in my yard)  It has sort of a magical feel about it.  So I decided that this was how fairies were born...and then they float away on the summer breeze

A totally new style of listing from me.  You will find Donalda Listed on eBay here




Donalda Do-Rag Goes to Creepy Hollow
2.5" x 3.5" pen and ink
Donalda Do-Rag went to Creepy Hollow on her really cool bike she bought after saving coupons for over 15 years. She was taking fresh baked brownies to her Grandmother. Her cousin Red, (3 times removed on her mother's side) was supposed to do it, but as usual had bombed out and was off picking mushrooms with the leader of that wolf pack that was always hanging around. You know the kind.....swanky dressers, speedy cars, fast talkers....Oddly her Grandmother's house is shaped like a mushroom.  (did you notice that?)   She has a lot of mushrooms in the woods behind her place, so the hippies are always in there picking them, and that really annoys Grandma.So once a week someone has to bring her brownies so she will chill out. This week it fell on Donalda Do-Rag.  The wolf in the picture isn't going to eat her or probably even talk to her....he's just kind of strung out on the road.....Anyway, that is Donalda's story.....she will have more stories...but that's for another day and another listing..

Marbles 2.5" x 3.5" coloured pencil

It's been awhile since I played around with coloured pencil.  I love the depth you can get with them.  I might start using them again.
