​One of my very first attempts at doing something with oil painting.  This was in 2008.  I like the blending with oils, but I end up painting myself more than the canvas.  A very messy medium to work with.  For me at least :)

We went for a walk.  I should have put Arwen's raincoat on as it got worse as we went.  By the end she was pulling me home :)

​The first time I tried pastels was in 2006.

​I didn't like my first results, but I keep practicing.

"Foxy" was sold this weekend at the AHA Exhibition.  He will be heading to BC as a Christmas present :)

​AHA is having their Fall Exhibition this coming weekend (October 18-19-20).  I have entered six of my pieces.  

​The colors this year are amazing and photos never do them justice.  Unfortunately the wind is blowing the leaves off the trees at an amazing rate, so I thought I would take a photo to preserve what is left on the trees outside the barn window.

​"Million Dollar Baby" (Arwen's registered name), 8x10 Scratchboard

​I have a few of my pieces hanging at our local café  (8 scratchboards in total, and 2 pastels). Not all shown.

​It was a little chilly walking with Arwen early this morning.  There was a fog lifting on the river and a few ducks trying to swim, but the only thing to break the morning silence was gunshots...the hunters were out :(
