Colour This: Pumpkin Patch!

With high hopes and green thumbs twitching, we tried to grow a lovely big pumpkin patch in our garden this year. But sadly, our valiant efforts yielded only one, rather small, rather speckled, greenish pumpkin. We named him Pickle. So…I have resorted to drawing my beloved pumpkins instead, complete with grinning faces and patterned skins. I hope you will add your own artistic flair to this mischievous duo! Happy colouring. 🙂

Colour This: Dragon Shield

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…

Suzanne’s Brawny Brier

Suzanne's Brawny Brier (2)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.

New Miniature Painting – Island Shores

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.
