This is a watercolor/mixed media painting I did a few weeks ago. I added kinwasi paper and ori masi paper as well as tea stained musical note paper. I have since this picture was taken affixed the two watercolor papers to an added third larger piece of watercolor to which I added a streaked wash of paynes grey to create a frame. I shall have another picture taken of it. I used a photo I found on-line to base my image off of which was done with inks, water colors and ink pen. I have always been inspired by Kurt Cobains guitar playing style, the lyrics and melodies he wrote and his art work including the design of his music videos.

Autumn Themed Pieces

 This is a watercolor still life study on hot press watercolour paper, wet on dry technique done Oct.17 2013
 Here is my red earthenware slab and coil ceramic pot from two angles done from my FVA year at NBCCD in the Autumn of 2006

 This Acrylic Autumn Tree Painting was done on a found canvas at Salvation Army on Strawberry Hill in Halifax NS. The canvas already had texture added, was white with light pink and blue washes with sparkles on it. I saw the potential of the texture on the canvas and allowed this tree to emerge. The canvas stands at 40 inches high and18 inches wide.
