Happy New Year 2013

Hi Everyone, Firstly, I want to wish you all a Very Happy New Year and all the best for 2013. 

Well it has been some time since I have posted.  I have been busy with some personal things the past two months which I will announce at a later time.   I also had a busy Christmas Holiday and now after some time I am back in my studio and here is my first painting idea and WIP for 2013. 

I am going to paint the beautiful seaside town of Dubrovnik, Crotia. The painting will be done on a 61 x 91 gallery canvas. 

Here is my Rough Sketch in Black and White
  
Added some Colour.  I decided to add some sailboats to the painting for movement and colour.  Now I will draw the composition on my canvas.  The most tideous and difficult party in my opinion.

Some Rough Sketches

Hi Everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. The weather was gorgeous here in Eastern Ontario - Ottawa. Summer is back with temperatures of 30+. Swam, worked outside and made bbq's all weekend long. Have to enjoy the last bit of summer.

In the meantime, with the influence of summer, I did a few rough sketches for some new small painting ideas I have for my upcoming shows in Ottawa. I bought these wonderful little frames in birch wood and some 8 x 10 canvases and thought I would so a slew of small beach/marine related paintings. Pefect little gift ideas for decoration your bathroom, etc. Here are the first 3 ideas I have. I am hoping to work on 3 more ideas and hoping to finish these on canvas by the end of the week.

Latest Painting - Maritime Special

Hi Everyone, I have been busy these days getting paintings, varnishings and framing done for the next Summer hanging on June 22nd at the Galerie de la Rive. Artwork which has been on display since March at the Gallery will be replaced with a totally new exhibition. I will be showing some new works during this period. The Official Vernisage will take place the weekend of August 22/23, 2009. If you have not seen my Funky Floral Series, take the opportunity to visit the gallery before the 22nd of June.


I just finished one today and it really makes me happy this little painting. It's all about Summer, the beautiful Maritimes. It makes me want to jump in this painting and go away on vacation and have some yummy lobster. The painting will also be framed in a silver wood box floating frame just like the one I framed my rainbow regatta in.

Rainbow Regatta

Hi Everyone, Just finished a little quickie painting of some sailboats and their colourful spinnakers racing on the Oresund in Copenhagen. When I lived in Copenhagen, we lived right by the sea in a suburb named Hellerup and it was beautiful to see all these boats from our balcony. I sure miss that view. There is just something so peaceful and beautiful about the sea! This painting will be going to Galerie de la Rive in Rockland on June 22nd and will be part of the summer exhibition to be held August 23rd from 1 - 4 pm.

Thought I would post a view of some sails on the Oresund in Copenhagen. Too bad most of the spinnakers were closed:
