Adrift In The Shallows

12" x 18" Acrylic on Hardboard

I was inspired to do this painting after I had looked through 

some books of Raymond Harris Ching. He has some

amazing paintings of birds with great attention to detail. It is 

his skill at painting water and reflections that I most admire.

Duck, duck, goose!

"Forget about getting all my ducks in a row, 

I'd settle for getting them all in the same pond!"

I am currently painting this mallard hen that I 

photographed at a park in Kamploops. I was recently 

admiring the work of Raymond Harris Ching who is a 

wonderful realist and paints beautiful water and bird 

scenes. After looking at some of his books I was 

inspired to begin this piece.     Cheers!

"Fetch"

A painting inspired by my golden retriever who 

never seems to tire of his favourite game.

Preparing to Airbrush

 

 

I  have started to block in colours on a 14" x 48" hardboard.

I have a series of photos that I snapped of a beautiful sunset

over Fisher Peak and the Steeples. I enlarged my photos

at Staples and have them right above my board for reference.

As you can see, I have placed my squares to help me map

out this long picture. I am going to use my airbrush to give the

clouds a very soft and blended look.

 

 



 POPPIES

This is a small 6" x 9" painting

of poppies that I finished on 

hardboard recently. It makes

me long for summer!
