Life on the Edge

March 13, 2015May 7, 2020 Cheryl

Just finished this 40″ x 30″ acrylic painting. It was done from a photo that I took in Northern B.C. It doesn’t show at all well in the photo, but I have collaged a small Canadian ammolite into this painting. Ammolites come from our Rocky Mountains, and it just felt appropriate – and maybe a bit magical too. Painting available from the artist: $1420.00 + HST

Paint Ontario

Quite delighted to have 3 paintings accepted to the Paint Ontario show in Grand Bend. Here is the information if you would like to go: Paint Ontario – Lambton Heritage Museum. Seeing these 2 up close, you can try to spot the stones and semi precious stones that I have integrated into the work.

Drawing – because it works

March 9, 2015May 7, 2020 Cheryl

More about drawing… When beginners are learning to draw, they get tired. We all do when concentrating on a difficult task. Like building up your muscles when weight training, the ideal time to keep at it is just a little bit longer than you would like to. I recommend using a timer. If you find that you can work comfortably for 15 minutes, try setting the timer for 20 minutes for the next few days. Continue this until you can comfortably work for about 35 minutes. That seems to be a good maximum goal for intense concentration. It really is like exercising. You are training your mind to concentrate, which can benefit other areas in life as well. All good!

Just Because

Nothing profound or artsy is coming forth in the gray matter this morning, so I thought I’d just send you some flowers and say – hope you have a lovely weekend.

I simply LOVE this! It involves skeletons – but is not at all scary. It’s just beautiful! Post by Upworthy. .

Seeing in Colour

March 2, 2015May 7, 2020 Cheryl

This is a very interesting article to anyone into art. I see 33 different colours in the bands that they show – which is just one more than average. Apparently some people see 39! 25% of the population. That said – wow – this has to affect how I make a painting, and how each individual observes it! Here’s the link: Diana Derval – 25% of People Have a 4th Cone How many colours do you see?
