Inside the Outdoor
~Sold~ I see Don and Danny, the guy who looks like Greg, maybe Chris Purdy Claudette? I get such a kick out of seeing my parents’ friends living it up, enjoying their youth. It could be us now.

Road Trip
“Road Trip” for Sarah from Grace and me 17″ x 24.5″ This just looks like a happy place. Who doesn’t love a little old red truck, a tie-dye blanket and road trip? There’s little detail of the landscape, but it feels Canadiana enough, jean suit, water, trees and sky. Sarah is a phenomenal show girl,…

Trouble
“Trouble” SOLD, 26″ x 31″ Oh mom, you are (or at least were) Trouble, with a capital T. Dad took this slide from below, looking up to no good. She’s smoking ‘Sportsman’s’ she tells me, and she fully admits, yes, she was probably up to no good. I was going to paint a raccoon over…

Blinded
“Blinded”, 21″ x 31″ This hunk of wood paneling had white paint on it to start. The bluish white glow reminded me of this slide of Regan Purdy’s ma, and decided it’d be perfect for the painting. I do want to include more animals, and objects into the photos I work with, so was happy…

No title yet…
~Sold~ , 25.5″ x 38″ I am stuck on a title for this one. ‘Up Skirt’, I thought… Adam suggested ‘Cross Your Legs,’ and ‘Works of Art’. I am open to other suggestions. I like how the woman on the left looks serious about a conversation and with the legs leaning out of the picture…

Cuteness Overload!
Really, this is too cute. I love these little guys! 28″ x 39″ Jared spotted my art in Rebel Rebel, and seeked me out to commission this. I have to admit, when I first saw the photo I was a bit scared. It wasn’t very detailed, kinda grainy, and the screaming baby… I thought it…

They Do.
Commissioned by Jay Brown, for his brother’s wedding, 16″ x 20″. An engagement smooch, on the beach, wind blowing, waves crashing, ahhh romance. I used some gold paint to try and capture the sun shining on the strands of her hair, and the glint in her necklace. I have no idea if these folks liked…

X-Wings
X-Wings: these kids got wings to fly! ~Sold~ This is my brother and his friend Rubin, probably before I was born in Port Alberni, BC. I am not sure which dog that is, (we always had dogs growing up)… maybe Pokey? I wanted to include something those boys would be dreaming of, up in the…

Horn Rims & Weiner Dogs
“Horn Rims & Weiner Dogs” ~Sold~ Acrylic, pen and polyurethane on wood paneling. I took this painting to a good home today, a fellow artist, broke and struggling within the confines of art school (hope she doesn’t mind me saying that). I also ran in to Ken Gordon today, who brought Ashley McNeil (above patron…
