Four Ladies

This painting was inspired by a photograph brought back from France by a friend of mine. It is quite large (30 inches x 40 inches) and was a lot of fun to do.

Carnations/workshop

 I recently took a workshop at the studio where I take lessons. Gene Prokop gave this workshop on carnations. It was a great learning experience.
 

Abandoned House



Ron Richardson is a wonderful photographer. He has published three books of his photographs that I am aware of and have in my collection. This painting is based on a photograph of an abandoned house on the prairies which had eventually been converted to a granary and then abandoned again. Mr. Richardson was kind enough to give me permission to do this painting from the photograph in "....it's just Prairie Too".

Retired


My husband is a recently retired hockey player. His skates have done well for him over the years and I feel that they have acquired a certain character that deserves to be preserved on canvas.

Ross Lake

                                                                                This painting is based on a photograph taken at
Ross Lake, south of Hope, B.C. in 2009. That is my daughter-in-law again in the kayak. She and my son venture to many beautiful places and take great photographs.


Kitty


This is our cat, "Kitty". She was found as a stray a few years ago and answered to "Kitty", so we still call her that.


Grandmother

I found a very old black and white photo of my grandmother on her wedding day, which we believe was around 1910, somewhere in Ontario. It was a challenge to recreate it in oils.

Hallowe'en


This painting is from a photograph I took of the three oldest of my children many years ago. The photo is fading, so the children thought it should be painted for posterity!

The Winner


My daughter-in-law is a runner. This painting was done for her from several photographs of the same race, run on a very rainy day in Nova Scotia. She won, of course!

Sunflower

This painting was done for one of my daughters and was inspired by several sunflower photographs taken by my other daughter. However, it was based on a photograph provided by a friend of mine in my art class.
It is painted on a 20 inch by 30 inch canvas.
