Original 6" x 4" painting from around 2004 (archives).

Thanks to all my visitors and loyal blog followers. Your support has been greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to get back into painting in a big way 2010. Watch for posts. In the meantime...

May the joys of this season remain with you the rest of the New Year!

Typical Winter Prairie Scene

Have you ever noticed that if a group of cattle don't know you, they will stand and stare until you pass by? I wonder what they are thinking? Actually maybe I don't want to know what they are thinking.....after all..we do eat them.

They are a hardy animal seemingly oblivious to the harsh weather around them. This is a painting of a scene that you would see just about anywhere on the prairies. Enjoy :)

Northern Ligthts - Falling star paintings

It's in the -30s today. It is going to be in the -40s tomorrow with the windchill, so what better time to paint a cold crisp winter night. "Shooting Star" is an acrylic aceo (2.5" x 3.5") painted on paper canvas. It has a bit of "glitter" to give it that frosty starlit look.

"Northern Lights" is a 4" x 4" acrylic painting. I find it wierd that square seemed to be harder to paint than rectangle? I have no idea why. This one also has glitter, but I added just the slightest hint of blue and green in the northern lights to add to the magic :)

You will find them both listed on Ebay here

My Blog

I have shamefully neglected my blog these last few weeks. We've been moving. Not a far move, but a tiring one just the same. I'm no longer Southshoreartist from Kinookimaw, but Southshoreartist from Regina Beach. It just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? LOL Anyway, I hope to get back to painting soon.......as soon as I unpack all my art supplies.
