"Queen Street"

A wee watercolour based on a drawing i had in my sketchbook of Victoria Street 

in Nelson B.C. 

I've used this scene several times but like to re-visit a painting from time to time 

and improve upon it or add things i thought should have been there 

the first time. 

Each time i do one new ideas come to mind 

and i make a note of them and to do another new painting down the road. 

While doing this one i thought a gas station would be fun to do

with rocking chairs out front and a dog or two. 

In a lake side community and of course there would be ice to skate on 

or a summer scene with diving platform and swimmers. 

Such fun, this art business.

"Delores"

More Cows! There can't be enough cows. 

I'be been having such fun with the backgrounds i am thinking the cows 

might be getting in the way! Perhaps put them further back 

into the fields. My whimsical watercolour villages are starting 

to show up in these acrylics. I look forward to seeing where it is all going.

"Luke"

This is the second of the commissions i had donated to 

"Rescue A Boxer" from Vancouver as a fundraiser item. The family who won the bid 

wanted a portrait of their Luke. 

I've done a lot of Boxers and have gotten to know the breed quite well. 

With this one, i painted his eyes first so he could watch me work 

and keep me company. 

We became good companions as i felt his warm, gentle spirit.
