This one might look familiar?! It's one of Denise's historic plates. I think this is her favorite one because the wreath pattern is rare or something. Anyways, this is a watercolor 22x28cm and mainly used a wet-on-wet technique.
I kinda like this one. I finished it the other night and is based on a photo I took of downtown Calgary. I wasn't too concerned with making it exact, more of an experiment in how I would tackle such a painting. Watercolor and felt, 22x28cm.
Close up of the painting. BTW, these weren't scanned but just photographed with my digital camera. So the colors are a little darker than in real life.
I did this painting in 2006 I think. I've done a few in this comic /slanted /acid style. Watercolor and felt. The fences were inspired from an earlier sketch I did of a painter in a back alley.
Finished this one a few weeks ago. Not too concerned with realism here but more looking for a sense of flow and color. I really like this and will probably hang it up somewhere. It is based on a photograph from Whiterock British Columbia.
Last of the bunch. Didn't mean for it to be posted on its side, but figured we all have necks.... so use 'em! Anyways, this is watercolor again but done in a more acrylic fashion where the colors were laid down quite thickly and with less water. Measures 22x28. I have another sketch of a hockey player; I think Tim Thomas. Over the next few months I want to do some more sports related paintings and such. After Thomas will probably be a few CFL paintings (Stamps, Riders and Aleuts perhaps -my favorite teams).Oh, and on a final note, I've changed my signature: Did you catch it? What do you think?
