Grandmother and Delphiniums



That was 'yesterday'. In the past 2 weeks I've quit school 3 times. Easier than cigarettes I guess!! I'm sick of my battle with school... I'm going to re-focus and work on some personal pieces for the near future. I'm sick of watching the clock tick.

Today I picked up 2 canvas' that I had sketched out for flowers months ago and finally released some creative energy. Enjoy these. The portrait is of my Grandmother and the Delphiniums are just that! My fondest memories are of road trips to Montreal to visit my aunt June and my Grandmother there. As for the flowers... they are my mothers favorite.

School.


I've been struggling with going to class since day 2 back in 2008. I know I'll struggle with classes until the day I graduate. I haven't posted much lately because I've been in a deep rut since autumn 2010. Also since Muzart's last show I've tried to put my focus on school only, in terms of art. I've exploded some creativity into watercolours and done dozens since then, but for the next few years my focus is going to be these classes. I'm on my third drawing there and looking forward to finishing it! Enjoy.

Thank you cards.


I had some thank you cards to write and conveniently a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Thanks Anne! Enjoy.

Spoons.


A new year, new projects! My sister has these kitchen spoons but the paint was peeling off. She was going to through them out but I decided to rescue them and paint a St. Lawrence and a St. Marta on them. After all... they are the patron saints of cooks! Stay tuned.
