  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Happy Beautiful Love

      Happy Beautiful People in Love! I was loving life when I was given this commission.  It was gorgeous weather outside, I had my easle set up on the deck, baby monitor on hand and was just adoring these faces!  They were glowing, and I guess just being so present and focussed, painting these smiling…

  • Young Rider

      Young Rider Last year I had this sweet commission from Angela.  Her daughter had seen my art at the moss street paint in, and put me on her wish list!  So nice someone so young would request art for Christmas! It was a tricky one to paint, because of the profile and angle of…

  • Custom Thanks

      Shannon & Eric’s Custom Thank You Card Again, Shannon knows what she wants!  Fantastic, and I liked her directions.  I still favour my first drawing though, where their Foxy selves were nude in the canoe.  I guess it was a bit too risqué for a wedding thanks ;)  Cut offs are cute.  Nice touch.…

  • Shannon & Eric Wedding Invite

      Custom Wedding Invite for Shannon & Eric This was a fun little project, off my beaten path.  Shannon saw our wedding invite through a mutual friend, and so had me design hers.  I liked how she knew what she wanted, from subject to background details.  I did up a few different drawings and we…

  • Mara & her Dad, approximately 18″ x 20″ (I should write these things down). Awwww, Mara, and  her father, I love everything about this picture.  Their eyes, his sweater, their bevies, and even the background details.  Maybe it’s cause I have a soft spot for dads, I don’t know.  I am long overdue posting this,…
