Good morning on a sunny Sunday! Here is my garden this morning. We had more snow yesterday; it will be a while before the crocuses are blooming! I put out suet for the birds....but everyone has to eat! My newest venture is into oil painting. I signed up for a class at the Georgina Art Gallery, with a dynamic teacher, who promptly solved the two biggest difficulties I've always had with oils. Here is a work in progress. I have started five paintings, and I work a bit on each one every day. We are using a hardener called Liquin with the paint, and applying very thin layers. Here is another work in progress. I'm really excited about these! This one is showing the most progress. Can you tell I love flowers? In my next blog, hopefully I can show you some finished paintings. Here's to spring, and spring flowers! Oh, and my seeds are sprouting! I probably started them a bit too early, but they will be okay. I wrapped the containers in tinfoil in an attempt to discourage the cats; apparently they don't like tinfoil. So far, so good!

I'm in awe. How wonderful it must be to be able to paint and even more fabulous to have 5 pieces on the go at once. I'll look forward to seeing the photos of them when each is completed.

Author I have always been an artist. I studied art at Georgian College in Barrie. I majored in Textile Design, which I chose because it gave me a lot of flexibility in media. Currently, I am painting in acrylic ,and in oil, on canvas. My other passion is gardening, and flowers often show up in my work! Archives
