Hi Everyone, TGIF! As I am writing this post my younger sister Mary is in the hospital and started labour. She went in this morning and was induced, so the labour has started and it won't be too long now till the little baby is born. I can hardly wait to be an auntie and Godmother! We dont know the sex of the baby yet, so perhaps you would like to make a wish!
I also framed my Tuscany Poppies Painting and it is hanging in the front entrace of our home. I really like it there. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

HI Everyone, TGIF. Just thought I would let you know that I now have a FaceBook Page for my paintings. If you wish you can follow me also via Facebook:
Hi Everyone, hope you all had a nice weekend. We had a very nice long weekend. It was Victorida day here on Monday and we had the day off. We did lots of gardening and work around the house, deck, etc.
Today I managed to work on a new idea and sketch for a new painting. My new painting will be the beautiful hillside of Tuscany with all the beautiful colours. It is a sketch from my imagination. I looked at lots of pics today from our travels to beatiful Tuscany and I could not find the exact pic I was looking for, so I created my own of the stunning Tuscany hills, landscsapes, etc. I was dreaming of the beauty and wish I was there...
I cant wait to paint this one. I have been wanting to do this since a very long time...since I was living in Denmark. Thought I would share the pic with you of my sketch.
Also some pics attached of my own villa in Cumberland, in Ontario...lol. Its not Tuscany but we love it! Have a great week everyone and happy painting
Hi everyone, I am happy to say that I finished my latest painting. I am very happy with my new "Poppies" painting. It was very hard to get a really good photograph. Photographing the reds was very challenging. The warm highlights of the oranges and yellow are not showing up like in the original painting, nor are the dark reds. I will try and photograph tomorrow again.
In the meantime here are two pics (a crop) and long view of my new painting:

Welcome to my Studio Blog! See what's been happening in my studio and on my travels. Exuberantly and cheerfully is the way I like to live and the way I like to paint. I love to travel and meet new people and many of my paintings are based on my travels. I love to create cheerful, bright, stylized paintings. I work from my imagination, infusing my own playful personality into my work. I work mainly with acrylics, which I adore for their intensity and versatility. I paint with bright colours, bold lines and experiment with juxtaposition of colors, shapes, patterns and perspectives.
