A Drawing A Day

Sadie’s Announcement
Custom Wedding Invite Such a good idea! It was Rhiannon who chose to have her daughter announce their wedding to friends and family. Very clever, and so making this was a lot of fun. Rhiannon asked I include her daughter Sadie’s little blanket bunny, RaRa, but with a real bunny body. Sadie’s nickname is Sadie…

Party On!
Party On, ~ 24″ x 38″ SOLD Chris Purdy in the background, my mom in the foreground in blue with a pixie cut. I have always loved this photo of the girls getting their party-on. The slide is overexposed and a bit blurry, the colours are so fun and appealing. Happy to have finally painted it.…

Port Parking
Port Parking $450, ~26″ x 38″ Sold John Frahill lived up on a tower in Port Alberni for a number of days to raise money for a cause… I need more details, but he took this image from the tower Dad tells me. I have painted this before on canvas. There are no rules, I can…

Ferris’ Upstairs
YAY!! A new venue for my art! Dave at Ferris’ first found me and my art at Rebel Rebel, (now “Reunion”), and I am so grateful for the exposure and support I have had over the years from Claudia and Erin there. At the time, everything I had art wise was hanging in their…

Canoediana
“Canoediana” – Commission, ~18″ x 24″ What an infectious smile!? Christine’s grandma is pictured here relaxing afloat a canoe. When she commissioned this piece, Christine gave me free reign to add colour if I wanted too. I contemplated making the shirt red, but opted out in the end as you can see. I…

Camping Patch
“Camping Patch” – Commission, ~16″ x 20″, acrylic on wood. This may have been the hardest picture to paint as of yet. My goodness. I scratched out and repainted my sweet friend Miranda’s little child face. She commissioned this as a gift for her Dad, and I wanted terribly to capture her perfectly. I…

Maui Wedding ~ 26″ x 38″, commission. Summer is the season for wedding portraits! Again, I was able to paint this one outside in the sun which is so appropriate for the subject, got me right in the groove. This image is quite large, and I had the added challenge of combining two photos. The…
