Cherry Blossom Reflection

Whether it's a simple sketch or detail painting, I like to think I can capture the joy & beauty of life. Been spending more time with cherry blossom this week.  I'm going loose & abstract with this study...trying to capture the atmosphere using oil pastel.

Working with a medium I'm not familiar with allows me to stay loose & just experiment.

Another Morning, Another Sketch

From soft to high contrast in 10 minutes, rapid studies of the morning sun.

Bluebird Inspiration

Sighting of a pair of bluebird, at the crack of dawn, got me into my studio.

Blue on Blue, nature's never ending supply of new color palettes!

Winter Magic at the Farm

The poetic landscape around me has always started many of my designs. Came across some lovely snowy px from La Basse Cour, on FB. A picture perfect farm in all seasons, right in my backyard.

Just have to sit down and play with some images from my archive. Focus is such a constant struggle for me, feeling pretty happy with

 this new holiday design.
