For me, summer time is a beautiful kaleidoscope of energy, warmth, colour and spirit. Infuse that with a smattering of Moroccan inspiration and this tile shaped mandala is the result! That said, a completely different colour scheme could change the feeling of this drawing altogether in many wonderful ways. How would you colour this tile?
Dragons and shields and gems, oh my! As a kid, I loved all things fantastic and heroic, savouring mythologies from around the world and the exquisite art of storytelling. And since then, very little has changed, I still love them. Even more so when I get to flesh them out with pattern and design! So I’ve mixed up a few of my favourite ingredients for this image, using a handful of dragon scales, a hero’s shield, a few scattered gems and a little dash of Norse inspiration.
Then, I pulled out the black pen and got creative…

Meet Suzanne’s Brawny Brier, a thistle with attitude! I began this drawing for a friend, inspired by a shared appreciation for Celtic design. However, the drawing ended up looking more like a combative weed with some serious know-how. But that is the great adventure in art-making, you don’t always know where you’ll end up once the art takes on a life of it’s own.

Here is a new miniature painting fresh off the table: Island Shores (measuring a tiny 1.75 x 5.25 inches small).
This scene is of the east coast of Gabriola Island, a truly wonderful place to visit and walk around. The many layers of beach debris, driftwood and stone make for a pleasant afternoon of beach-combing.

These flower doodles began as a series of mini mandalas, or possibly medallions, but eventually morphed into flower designs, a sure sign I had gardening on the brain.The colours I’ve used here were inspired by a lovely black cushion embroidered with red and green threads. What colours will you use?

Quilts are fabulous, so many colours, designs and themes to play with! And since I don’t have time to work on all the quilt designs I come up with, I’ve decided to turn some of them into colouring pages. Here is the first: Flower Patch
I’ve included two versions of this theme. I used blues and bright colours, what will you use?

This little painting was fun to do. “Afternoon At The River” is a tiny, 2.5 x 2 inch miniature painting of a favourite place to visit in Pitt Meadows, BC. I’ve included a series of images illustrating how the painting came together. The image is painted in acrylic, on a paperboard surface.
