Newest Project

I was just asked to paint this! It's an amazing property... I'm starting the watercolour next week. It's nice to think about using my watercolour pallette again and put some brushes to paper.

on my drafting table...

I've been commissioned to do a watercolour of this wonderful house and boat. It's actually a picture that's been sitting in my inbox for a long time, but as of today, I have it all sketched out and the plan is to put brush to paper tonight while the house is quiet. I'll post my progress (if I make any) soon.

Watercolour Paintings

Way back in 2005, I decided to sign up for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer... I thought walk 60kms, I can do that... then I thought, raise $2000, HOW.

Then I decided that if someone donated towards my goal, I would thank them with a home/cottage portrait in watercolours... up until then I had only done one other. But it turned out so well that I decided I could do it. Turns out I raised my goal and more and to this day I am asked to make some pretty special creations. It hasn't stopped at homes/cottages... I have been asked to do boats too! I have backed off any pet or people requests (I'm just not that brave yet).

So to this day, I still do these watercolours. I think that it's pretty amazing that people ask me to capture their most prefect precious plase on paper...

PS - Sorry for the quality of pictures... this was way before I learned HOW to take better pictures ;-)
