"Betty's Chicken Coop"  6x8"

"Me and Mom"  14x18  

I was very drawn to the baby,  in this photograph which was taken by Nora Efford.  

"Big Red"  6"x 8"  This painting was painted from a photograph I took at Telegraph Cove on Vancouver Island.

"The Rose"   5x5"  I have been busy and all of a sudden several days have passed without posting, so here I go again.

This is the first watercolour I have posted.   I love painting pears, they have such nice shapes and variation of colour.

I took this photograph on a canal trip in Thailand. I painted it this year for the Tour of the Arts show.

I did this painting from a photograph my daughter took while on safari in Kenya.  I loved the way the animals appear on the horizon with the sunset.

This is a picture of my grandson fishing on Dutch Creek.  I painted it from a photograph that was taken a few years ago.  It has a lot of sentimental meaning for me, as I have spent many hours sitting looking at the creek, walking along the creek and just listening to the water flowing in the creek.

This painting is the second of my venice canal paintings.

This painting and the one I will post tomorrow were both photographs of canals in Venice. They were both very detailed and I wanted to make them a bit more abstract so I used photoshop to make the photo less detailed.  I like the way the paintings turned out. I think I will try it with other photographs.   This painting sold at my show last year.

I took this photograph in Holland a few years ago.  There is something about windmills that is very inviting.  I love the tranquil feeling in this painting.
