It’s the first real cold snowy day we’ve had so far this fall. So what does an artist do? Paint a bright sunny day!
I painted Mara Twilight back in 2022. It’s moved from wall to wall at our house. It’s featured on my 2024 calendar this month but it’s had no real interest or inquiries. I decided it needed brightening up. So I nixed the darkness of twilight and changed it to a bright sunny day. It’s much the same as my painting “Mara Muse”. I miss that painting so this one may replace it.
Not only did I totally change the painting I will have to change the title too. Any suggestions?

This paintinghas since Sold. 🔴 “Mara Muse”. I have been trying to capture the view from the aft deck of our houseboat for 8 years. That’s how long we’ve owned our boat. I think that I succeeded today! Yay! I have made several attempts but this one makes my heart sing. See me smile. Funny something that is so near and dear can be so difficult to duplicate. But not today. I started and finished this painting in one day. Yes, you read that correctly, one day. I found the zone. Nothing feels better to an artist than that zone. Trust me.

Update, this painting has SOLD. Thank you Gayle and Rick. The making of “Day’s Eye”. From the David Oakes photo to the completed painting.
Thank you again to David for kindly giving me permission to use his beautiful photo.
At one stage of this painting I had to wonder, “What was I thinking?”. There were a lot of petals and a lot of layers. But I persevered and I am very happy that I did.
Thank you for stopping by and having a look.

“Day’s Eye”. This latest painting has been a labor of love. Memories of our youngest son’s life and loss kept me going on this one. I needed an out and the best way for me to accomplish that is paint, to escape. Go to my happy place. For HOURS!! Or wallow, and I don’t do that.
Also, for those of you that haven’t figured it out yet, I love flowers. Once upon a time I was a florist and designer extraordinaire.
For the photo credit I would like to thank, photographer and friend David Oakes. He very kindly gave me permission to use his photo of these glorious daisy’s. Thank you David.

Sold 🔴 “The Sun and Moon.” Or El sol y la luna. The latest painting drying on my easel. One of my favorite places is Zihuatanejo Mexico. A fishing village on the Pacific coast. This painting is my depiction of two Zihua fishing boats, known as pangas, resting at anchor. Normally at the end of the day these boats are hauled up onto the beach. But I wanted to show how beautiful the water is so my boats are at anchor. I have painted many boats without issue but these two started out a bit wonky. I am pretty sure I fixed that. And before anyone mentions it, yes I broke a rule and placed the boats dead centre!! No rule of thirds in this one. It’s about the colors, ocean, and boats. My loves.

I am pleased to share with you the latest painting from my easel, “Summery Show”.
What other flower, other than perhaps sunflowers, brighten anyone’s flower garden? Rudbeckia of course! Also know as Black Eyed Susan’s.
Here I have enjoyed showing off the beauty of what some would consider an old fashioned garden favorite. In my world they are a standard for any garden. They were always in mine.
This painting is all about the showy blooms. I treated the foliage as a minor player, lacking detail.

This time I have a revision of a painting that I did back in 2018 to share with you. I was never particularly happy with “Raven Trail Autumn” but at the time I decided to leave it alone. Every time I looked at it I wanted to do something to it but was never sure what. The boardwalk bothered me and the lake in the distance did too. So this week I finally put Raven Trail Autumn back on my easel and had a go at changing it. Hopefully for the better. As you can see I posted the 2018 version on top and the 2024 revision bellow it.
The reminder is for the upcoming annual July long weekend Art Show and Sale at the Red Barn in Sicamous. Please, if you are in the area, drop by and visit the show. We have a lot of very talented people in our neck of the woods. I will be volunteering at the show daily from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and I will have four of my bigger paintings available along with a table of my smaller paintings and “one of a kind” cards for sale.
