Still Life sketches

Watercolour still life sketches

I sometimes like to add inspirational sayings to some of my sketches, as

I have done with these.

Wooden bird houses:  "We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence then is not an act but a habit"

 Wooden sculpture:   "The person who really wants to do something finds a way; the other person finds an excuse." & "You can always get what you want, but if you try, you'll find you get what you need."

Fruit still life: "Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow."

Art Focus Demo - SOLD

On May 23, 2012  I was invited to give a watercolour demonstration to the Port Coquitlam Art Focus Group.  For the first part of the demo I did a exercise for practising your brush strokes and testing out colour triads which ends up looking like a quilt and for the second part of the demo I started a small painting of a pear but time allowed for me only to run the inital washes.  Here is the finished painting for anyone wondering if I actually did finish it!

Many thanks to the members of Art Focus for being a great group to give my first "official" demo to and for the terrific write up in their newsletter.
