Welcome to my blog! I am very excited about it and would like to thank Paula Cravens for spending 3 hours with me the other day to set this up. I enjoyed the time and am very happy with the result. Please be sure to check out Paula's blog as well as Headwaters Art Society, there are a lot of talented people in our area!
This is an acrylic painting on an 11 x 14 wood panel in progress.
Painting still in progress!
I took pictures of this Blue Jay in my Aunt's backyard in October of 2011. I was taking a workshop with Terry Isaac that week in Cranbrook and stayed at my Aunt's instead of travelling back and forth each day. We were enjoying a glass of wine on her patio when we noticed this Jay. He was rummaging around in the dead leaves and petals beneath the yellow mums. I was curious to see what he was doing. Once he had left I decided to inspect the area in which he'd just left and discovered that he had hidden an unshelled peanut beneath some leaves. I loved the look of the old wooden fence, it highlighted the colors of the flowers and the bluejay.
Volunteer Poppies This beautiful poppy was the last flower to bloom in my yard this year. It volunteered to grow right along-side my driveway and so, we gave it ample space so that we could appreciate the large red flowers. I am thankful to the little bird or squirrel that happened to deliver these seeds to my yard.
