A new small watercolour piece called Slow Fall.

I have started a new series of small pieces as sketches for my larger paintings. I love the freedom of small works. They can become so playful.

I love that I live in such a beautiful place.

Another new painting up on Etsy. I think this lovely spring weather is helping me with productivity.

Just posted My Way on my Etsy shop.

In November, 2012 we had a resident staying at the studio, Shelley Harrison, who wanted to put together a collaborative calendar. She asked Kyle and I if we would participate. Of course we were happy to be involved. These are the five small painting sketching I did for the calendar.

2012 is almost over and that means it is time to start making plans for the new year. I am excited to start building a new body of work in watercolours and a few new wax pieces as well. Here are two new paintings which I started recently. I thought I would try working in all warm and all cool colours as an experiment.

New small watercolour that I am working on right now.

Despite my initial reaction to the idea of selling on Etsy I recently decided that it is probably a good idea … so I went ahead and made a shop. I must say it does feel pretty good to see all the work in one gallery together. I can really see the connections between the bodies of work, plus I have the added fun of seeing how other people feel about the work.
