Rusty

Rusty has been a work in progress for several months.  I used a combination of palette knives and brushes for this painting and plan to frame him in a rustic style frame to go along th the farmyard idea.

Glass Jars

Glass is always interesting to paint and I especially like adding those lovely dabs of reflections.  I found a really good place to buy older glass bottles with many of them having a slight hint of green or blue in them.........hmmmmmm, I feel another shopping trip coming on.  Happy painting!

Sitting by the Dock

I haven't been sailing for many years but it was something I definitely enjoyed as a child.  Our neighbours were a young couple with an avid interest in sailing and often took me with them on race days.  It was great fun and the trip to DQ for a delicious ice cream treat afterwards wasn't bad either.  Happy painting!

Little Boat in the Bay

Today started out very wet and dreary but as the day has gone on, it has become much brighter and more like summer.  On my way home from shopping, I passed by a marina and noticed a little row boat sitting in the bay.  The boat I saw was blue and white but I fancied painting my inspiration in a bright orange which seems to be the popular colour here this summer.
