model workshop

Today I held a model workshop for the federation of canadian artists. Our art instructor was no other than Ingrid Christensen. Here is the unfinished model painting I am working on.

Another Christmas Kitty

I am trying my hand at tinsel, I will need to revise the final version once I figure out how to paint this intriguing element. Here are the processes leading up to the finale...

Airdirondack chair

While I was on vacation Creative Airdrie had an event to raise funds to create a new arts building, I painted a chair that they auctioned off and realize I should post it so here it is.

Andrew Kiss Demonstration

On Friday night I enjoyed a wine and cheese event that hosted this famous Artist, He was very meticulous and his tones were right on.

Andrew Kiss. I read on a website that his palette is never the same , well it is the same, the paint has been building up for months and its formed into a small mountain. I think Doug Swinton was already offering to put on ebay.
lol

A Christmas Decoration

I pondered for a while and knew a red ornament would be grand but I didn't want the focus away from the kitty so here it is in GOLD.

new pastel

I am working on this as a christmas card design, this kitty is under the tree batting Christmas decorations. I Should be done by tomorrow for the sketch club meeting. They have a printing company who will choose from hundreds of paintings one they would like to put on a card, everyone is invited to bring 5 images. It is unlikely they will chose the cat but it was good motivation to get another piece done!!
