Wonderful Pansies

I have the most wonderful photos of pansies in my album. You can see from the painting,
they are white and mauve and pinkish. They were a pleasure to paint, in oils, on this 12x24 canvas.

Lilacs

It is that time of year again. The lilacs smell and look wonderful around our subdivision and along the roads. Who could resist picking some and putting them in water. The house has a permeating smell of their wonderful perfume. Of course I have to paint them. These seemed to paint themselves and the time just flew by as I mixed colours and had fun. Here they are on a 16x20 canvas. I wish you could smell them too.

Farmhouse on Wolfe Is.

When we were plein air painting on Wolfe is. another artist and I decided to drive eastward, out of the small town of Marysville. On the edge of a field sat this farmhouse. I think the occupant had abandoned it a few years ago, but we were not sure. We decided to paint on the side of the road, and we enjoyed our morning. The only hardship was the large gravel trucks that went by every few minutes, it seemed, to service the large wind turbines that were being erected nearby. The dust from the trucks on this dirt road was very thick. EVerything was covered in it, including the painting. Oh well, it just gave it more character. This is painted on an 11x 14 board.
