Mill Street West

This piece was a commission of a building in Elora (Ontario, Canada). I had never been to Elora before until I needed to do this commission. Wow is it a beautiful area.

It was a lot of work and a lot of experimentation but I am really happy with the results.

This was created with a Bamboo graphics tablet, Photoshop Elements 10 and GIMP 2.8.

Thanks for reading this and cheers!

Ocean Spirit

This is a birthday gift for a very dear friend who is also my biggest fan. I do hope that he likes it.  It is sadly a bit late but good art takes time. :P

This was created with a Bamboo graphics tablet, Photoshop Elements 10 and GIMP 2.8.
The background is a paper texture from Hillary Luetkemeyer. Click this link if you want to download and try out her paper textures: http://hibbary.deviantart.com/art/Torn-edge-paper-packet-part-2-189165405

Two Lilies

These lovely flowers are from my mother-in-law's garden. She has a green thumb (unlike me).

I used a technique called impasto to paint this. It was a lot of fun.

After the storm

These beautiful clouds showed up after a thunderstorm earlier this summer. I find that some of the most beautiful clouds happen after a thunderstorm.
