Cherrylicious (12"x7")

They were the best cherries I had ever tasted, so I just had to paint them.

"Beach Day"(20"x16")

This is my sister enjoying a perfect summer day on the beach.

"Stacked" (5"x9")

Another Daily Paintworks Challenge. So much fun, I'm already looking for another things to stack up and paint.

"Bikers"(8"x16")

I took this picture on a recent trip to the Dominican Republic. It seems like everyone is riding bikes or motorcycles there. And it is unbelievable how many people can fit onto one small bike (3 or 4 is pretty common). Beautiful country with the friendliest people I've ever met anywhere.

"Beets"(5"7")

Pick a vegetable and paint it from life. Direct painting. That was this week challenge from DPW.
Just finished painting and now I will make my favorite soup, polish borsch, yum.

"Connecting" (6"x8") oil on canvas panel

This one is for this week's DPW challenge. I had more trouble taking a proper photograph of it than I did in painting it. The colors are not exact because of the dark, rainy-weather lighting conditions I photographed in.

"Bowl of oranges"(5"x9")

This is my entry for last week's Daily Paintworks Challenge. It's the Color Challenge, I chose combination of complementary and split complementary(blue, purple, turquoise and orange)

Contemporary (10"x12")

Watching contemporary dancing is one of my favorite things to do. There is something magical about it.

German Landscape(5"x7")

Another challenge from DPW.

Mango(5"x5")

Another challenge from DPW. One stroke, one color. It was very messy, but so much fun. Thank you Carol.

Zippo(6"x6")

This is my submission to this week DPW challange. This was the first time I painted using only three colors. I never expected that it would be so much fun.

"Summer walk"(12"x10")

It's about time I started bloging again. I can't believe it's been this long. First I had my Mum and sister visiting me for a couple months. Whenever I tried to paint, I felt guilty that I should be spending time with them. Then...Christmas fever, but finally everything is back to normal.
I signed up for the "Streetscapes in Oils" class at Visual Arts in Mississauga. The course is run by Dermot McKeown (who I have already mentioned here before) and he is great, that's why so many of us keep coming back. And this is my streetscape painting.
