Painting The Drama of Wildlife

 Terry Isaac signs my copy of his book titled, "Painting The Drama of Wildlife".

Terry Isaac instructed a two day workshop at the Headwaters Art Room

in Discovery Center, Canal Flats, B.C. Seven lucky artists participated in

the workshop on April 7th and 8th, 2018, and much fun was had by all.

Terry offered gentle critiques and lessons on composition.

We were very privileged to learn from such a gifted artist and teacher.

Thank you Terry!

POSTCARDS

My husband made this stand for my post cards out of

old barn board. The post cards I printed are of local

views and wildlife in our valley. They are available at 

the Canal Flats Family Pantry for $1.50 each.

P.S. - The Headwaters Art Society is exhibiting at Pynelogs, in Invermere next week. I will have three new pieces for display as well as 5 of my 4" x 4" tiles. Join me on Wednesday evening from 6:00pm to 9:00pm for the opening night.

Cheers!

 

Beginning  A Bear Painting

I sketched my subjects on a prepared canvas.

I blocked in the main colours of my picture.

Below is my photo reference from the wildlife
sanctuary that I visited this spring.   CHEERS!

BEAR  HUGS

 

 

This weekend my husband and I enjoyed the antics of two

young grizzly bears at the Wildlife Park in Kamloops, B.C.

The park is home to many different species of animals that

are native to the province of B.C. Some have been orphaned

or have been injured and rehabilitated but are unable to be

released into the wild again.

While there were other animals that we enjoyed seeing,

none were as entertaining as this rambunctious pair of bears.

 The siblings gave me plenty of opportunities to photograph them

at play and at rest. Below is one of the resident Bald Eagles

who has suffered a broken wing.

It was a great place to collect reference material for my paintings.

 

WOOD BURNING

ON BURL

 

This is a burl that my husband cut at an angle so that I could create a free-standing piece of art. I am fortunate to have my grandfather's woodburning tool. I have created family signs, plaques and free-standing scenes of wildlife and landscapes.

 

I like to use naturally occuring knots and grains in the wood to represent elements of my scenes, such as this particular knot which I felt looked like a sun or moon above this mule deer buck.
