My tiger lily paintings as a set. Pretty reminders of summer all year long. 🌞🎨

My set of tiger lilies are now both complete. I love a vibrant pop of colour against a black background. These make me happy.🙂

Next phase of the tiger lilies.

My current project is a set of vibrant tiger lilies, one red, one orange. Here they are with their first layer of paint, but with a long way to go before they are complete.

Having grown up in the 1000 Islands, I decided to paint something inspired by time spent on the St. Lawrence River.

S'mores trifle for dessert tonight. Layers and layers of ooey gooey goodness!

Hand painted wine glasses - something new I've been working on.

I thought I would try my hand at palette knife painting again. This is only the second time I've tried it, and it's a bit tricky, but I love how it's imprecise and textured. I had a lot of fun with this one. I wish my camera took better pics though.

My wonderfully creative, talented and thoughtful daughter made me a beautiful sketch book. She stitched the pages together and painted gorgeous pics on the front and back covers. ❤️❤️❤️

Mother's Day is a week away. These paintings would make wonderful Mother's Day gifts. 😁

It took quite awhile to get this painting from my brain to the canvas, but it was worth it. I think it would make a lovely Mother's Day gift.

Over the past almost two years, I've spent many lunch hours learning to sketch through online tutorials with Artist's Palette Durham Region. I finished this one today. I sketched it out in pencil, traced it in black Sharpie, and then added some colour. I'm very happy with how it turned out. 😁

I was commissioned to paint this piece (thank you Jazz), inspired by a digital art pic by PsychoShadow ART. It was cool to paint, and I'm very happy with how it turned out, and more importantly, so are the clients. 🙂

Chocolate lasagna. Five layers of chocolatey goodness. Happy Easter everyone! 🐇🐰🍫

I tapped into my other creative side this weekend and made some chocolate Easter eggs. Yummy

Got an at home bar that needs decor, or a pub that needs a pic?
This will do the trick.
Want a beer or two?
For forty bucks, this could belong to you! 🤣

I haven't posted a painting in awhile, and since this is a page to share my art, I thought I'd share a short (but not so short) story I wrote a few months ago. If you like reading and you're currently between books, maybe you'll want to give it a go. It's sort of in the young adult genre, I think.

Painted these for family members, recently and not so recently.

Happy New Year everybody! 2023 was an interesting year for me. Deciding to sell my paintings was both exciting and nerve racking. Thank you to everyone who encouraged, supported and followed me. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. Cheers to a new year! 🥂

A Christmas gift painted for my wonderful Mom. You just can't beat a fancy red dress.
