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.
Colouring is a great way to relax and de-stress. The beauty of it is that you don’t have to be an artist to enjoy doing it. There is no right or wrong way to colour. Doodle with a pen, or use coloured pencils, crayons or whatever is handy, and make your mark. I usually start my workday with a hot beverage in one hand and a black pen in the other, drawing patterns and squiggles just to get my creativity flowing. And colouring is a nice way to unwind at the end of the day. So if you like to doodle, or colour, but want some help to get going, then feel free to use these line drawings as a starting point.
“Colouring Pages” is where I post free drawings that you are welcome to print, colour and doodle on for your own personal, and hopefully relaxing, use. Sometimes I’ll post a coloured version of the image to illustrate what I did with the line drawing.
There are several images available on the left side menu. Please check back to see new images posted.
