Moody Beach
I am trying to do more figures, and children present more of a challenge since their proportions are so different than adults. This is from a photo taken by my father of me as a child at Moody Beach in Maine. The photo is black and white, so I had to imagine the colors.

Jade in High Park
This is my dog Jade in Toronto's largest park, High Park. I edited out the fences that prevent her from chasing squirrels!
We are having a serious winter this year!

Dark Bay Thoroughbred
I love horses, and painting them. I find people more difficult, and it is my plan to focus on figures and faces. This took me ages to do, and I must have wiped the girl off the canvas half a dozen times before I was happy with her. Since attending the Karin Jurick workshop in November, I have been working on the lovely smooth surface of Ampersand Gessoboard, and transitioning back to canvas was tricky. I got used to it again after a while, but it is very different to work on in comparison to the gessoboard. There is a give to it, and it grabs the paint in a different way, and I had to use bristle brushes instead of softer brushes. It was definitely slower.
This is from the Royal Winter Fair 2010 in Toronto.

Shore Birds
At last, back to some painting again. My flu is more or less gone, and I have some energy.
These little shore birds I saw at Hilton Head in November were fascinating to watch. They didn't keep still for a moment!
