"Ivy"

I've painted this same sweet girl several times and love her as a model. 

My favourite thus far though i have many. 

 I've several angles of her and intend on doing them all. 

This is a commission for a lady who saw one of my other ones. 

She wanted a specific size to go on the wall with a painting of a wolf she owns. 

This is acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas and the biggest one i've done so far. 

I really enjoy painting the larger canvases. 

30" X 36" 

 

Boats and reflections are a bit of a passion for me and i love doing them even though they take a while to make. This one is on a full sheet of 300 lb. arches CP paper. My initial plan was to make it quite dark but as the painting progressed it was wanting to stay light. Have to listen to the painting and let it guide me. I love when that happens and a new direction is unfolding as paint goes to paper. I thought i might post the photo i worked from here too for you to see. It was one i took a few years ago in Vancouver and always wanted to do something with it. Hope all are well out there in studio land. Blessings. Ross
