Little mini paintings

  QUAIL COUPLE - SOLD

 QUAIL ON THE TRAIL - SOLD

These are some of the little 3"x4" Mini paintings that I have been painting in acrylic.  They are a lot of fun to create and I've been busy doing quite a few. The Mountain scene is Mount Baker, the surfer is from the Tofino area, the quails from the interior and the crows are local.

Fruit Still life sketch

Hiking Crystal Falls- SOLD

This is an acrylic on paper 14"x10"   Crystal Falls is an easy pretty and popular hike in the right in the urban area of Coquitlam.

Eye of the horse

Sometimes it's fun and beneficial to just draw a portion of something - like in this case the eye of horses.  I drew out the eyes first and then painted them in watercolour.

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."
