Old Barn


Having lived in rural areas, I always admired the beauty of barns. They represent farming communities, and what they do for us all.

Daisy


Finished this painting of Daisy April 25. She is the sweetest, tiniest little beagle with huge eyes and ears. Daisy was adopted at 2 years of age and has a wonderful home now. I wish all dogs were as well cared for as she is.
Now I'm off to High Park to check out the cherry blossoms.

Humber River at Dusk

Daisy Layer 2


The features of Daisy's face have a bit more detail now. Next, I will tune up the background, add highlights to her eyes and refine here and there.

Daisy - First Layer


I haven't been posting as frequently as I had intended, because I have been working on several larger projects and I haven't been working on my small works much.

This is one of the paintings that is in progress and it is taking shape, but needs more work. Doing small paintings fairly frequently has improved my painting overall, I feel. My brush strokes are bolder and I am faster and I can mix and choose color more confidently.

This is Daisy, a most adorable beagle. I will post the completed work.
