Whistler is calling!

 Two new small paintings (8x10) that I might paint larger as I quite like them!
They are called "Late Summer Feast" and "Tusk at Twilight". They're acrylic on board, $160 unframed.

Still life weekend with Gaye Adams


I've admired Gaye's still lifes for quite a while,  so when Janice Robertson booked her in to her Fort Langley studio for a 3 day workshop, I jumped at the opportunity. As many times as I've heard, "lighter, darker, warmer, cooler" it really sunk in here. Had a wonderful time with Gaye, Janice and Alan (Wylie), and Mark Hobson was also there for a visit. Here are my first efforts at this captivating approach. In oils! They're still wet 5 days later .. a nuisance but love the soft edge possibilities.
