Yesterday my husband, the kids and I went to have a great visit with family and didn't leave until after nightfall. We had a gorgeous drive home with an amazing view of the night time sky. From that this new piece was inspired.
Today while my son was napping and my daughter was playing with her vsmile, I got the chance to paint...
For a long time I have pretty much not bothered with landscapes. However, my trip on Mother's Day to the McMichael art gallery and some encouragement from my friends awokened a love for it. I think this phase will last a good while yet.
My newest piece I plan on listing this weekend on eBay. The charcoal works great in contrast to the softer watercolours. I'm hoping to experiment more combining the two mediums, it was a great experience. My last few pieces were quite a bit "darker" so the fusion of colour into the charcoal medium was a welcome change.
