Classic Serenity

Finally quenched this insatiable thirst to attempt a waterfall. First one and I think it's not half bad. :) This is one of those paintings that I would just LOVE to dive into. The searing tranquility and quiet of this is so entirely appealing. Anyone who has been following this blog understands how captivating I find water and this, is the epitome of that emotion. I think everyone should have a waterfall in their home. ;)

Sunstream

Painting I did (finally) for my daughter's birthday. I love how the sun appears to be cutting clear through the forest to touch the ground. It's almost passionate. I'm still working on technique ... this is something that I might decide to learn through lessons in the future. But for now, I'm happy just discovering what my limits are. 

This is another one I truly had difficulty letting go. But I know I can visit it anytime I want (and my daughter too! :P)

Auburnesque

Oh how I wish I had had more time for this one. It was a wedding gift, and of course, I left it too late. :( So in the rush to finish it, I am not 100% satisfied with it, (I know; how unusual for me). :P

Still, I LOVE the colours in this. The inspiration came from a friends deviant art post. It was a photograph taken somewhere in Peterborough and I fell in love with it. It seems so ... dusky and mysterious. Anyway, the couple loved it, so I guess I'm okay with it for now. Will try another one of these when I can spend more time on it.

For now, I'm going to try and do up some quick paintings for a showing maybe. ;) Hopefully I'll be able to get on here more to post them. Thanks to my pal, John Carter for coming up with the title of this. It fits perfectly!
