Cake Art

On Saturday, July 2nd, I had a big BBQ in my backyard for my son Dawson. He graduated from D.T.S.S. this year and has always been my bookworm. I thought it fitting to make his graduation cake look like a few books. I used fondant to cover my cakes and then used some decorating gel to add the writing and some texture to the book covers. I was quite happy with the result.

 POPPY WORKSHOP

      On Saturday, May 14th a group of ladies joined me at the Headwater's Art Room at the Discovery Center in Canal Flats. We spent a full day together learning to paint in acrylics. Everyone painted from the same reference and yet each creation was different and unique. It was great to see individual styles emerge. 

     

 I would like to thank the Columbia Basin Trust for the grant that we received enabling our art society to offer workshops like these for our community.

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.
