Played around with some watercolour inks on canvas, definitely a different effect! These colours colours flow into dreamy patterns.

My most recent piece … 8x8 gallery wrapped canvas #auroraborealis #acrylicpainting

And all the best for the coming new year. I do appreciate each and every person who attends my shows, interacts with my posts, and especially for those who purchased art from me. Every interaction from you gives me such a boost, and lets me know that I am connecting with you.

Working on a few more of these to replenish my stock, as they were quite popular at the Markets this year. #auroraborealis #acrylicpaiting

Experimenting with my new ColorEx watercolour inks, from Pebeo, these are lush and vibrant and flow easily across damp paper

A couple of new works, Christmas gift work is done for this year! I really wanted to capture our night skies this year, with all the amazing auroras we have had. #auroraborealis #art

Whoops! I have been so busy I forgot to visit this app. Here are three of my recently sold mini paintings-in honour of the really strong northern lights we have been experiencing.

One of my pieces for the upcoming 12x12 and under show. #northernlights

I was not aware that I was using the same colour scheme for all four of these pieces. Oops! Hahaha well they will all be available at the Christmas market this weekend.

Happy that I managed to get two more little pieces done for the Christmas Market this weekend! Whoop whoop!

Lest we forget…

A couple of glass bricks (cubes?) that I painted up for the Christmas Market (as the last sold immediately and I panicked!)

A very kind friend recently gave me a huge box of these 3” wood slices, and I just had to paint an Aurora on this one! Thanks Grace! just in time to make them for the Xmas Market #auroraborealispainting #ornament #christmasmarket @artstrathcona

Been working on getting items ready for the Christmas Market (coming November 15/16) so painting and assembling these little guys has been at the top of my to-do list. #nisse #Christmas #Christmasmarket #handmade @artstrathcona

Painting up some ornaments for the Christmas Market (coming Nov 15/16) @artstrathcona in the Barn. 20 local artists with all handmade items (no reproductions). Unique gift items and seasonal decor. Come by and see us! #christmasmarkets #strathconacoutyevents #handmade #uniquegifts

Well! That did not last long in my inventory, the paint was still drying when it sold! Happy it has found a new home. Now to make a few more. #winterscene #acrylicpaint #christmasmarket @artstrathcona #glassbrickpainting

One of the pieces from the 40th Anniversary Fall Show.

And here are a couple of group shots, so many different interpretations!

Our 40th anniversary show (part 6 of 6) Each painting connects to the next with a blue ribbon - the threads that connect us…(the last piece)

A mini 3x3” winter landscape. Making more Christmas Market items. #artforsale #yegart #shoplocal #assc   #golden #acrylicpainting #liquitex #artstrathcona @artstrathcona #landscape

Another mini landscape (for the 12x12 and Under show in November) #artforsale #yegart #landscape #minipainting #shoplocal #assc   #golden #acrylicpainting #liquitex #artstrathcona @artstrathcona

Another mini painting of a winter scene. These are such fun to paint. #winterlandscape #artforsale #yegart #shoplocal #assc   #golden

Took a class yesterday on how to paint this handsome fellow. #raven #multimedia #nevermore

Took a class on how to draw and paint a dragon portrait, rather pleased with how it came out. #dragon #fantasyart

My (poor) attempt at doing a quick sketch from yesterday’s urban sketch workshop. I am so unaccustomed to drawing buildings and people and cars (oh my!) but it was fun to try! @thepaintspot #urbansketchingworkshop Thanks to Felix for the opportunity.

Was so pleased to see this drawing go to a new home this past weekend. The Home Studio Tour was such a wild success and it was so great to connect with community. #homestudiotour

Another one of my abstract landscapes that benefited from a mat. #watercolour #landscape #abstractlandscape #intuitivepainting

Just finished this little guy, which somehow ended up as a companion piece (see second image) funny how to at goes. #gallerywrappedcanvas #acrylic #landscape

Today’s piece - a quick landscape on a gallery wrapped canvas (I love these, but they are a little expensive) Will be available this weekend at the home studio tour! #acrylic #gallerywrappedcanvas #landcape @artstrathcona #homestudiotour

Hey, artist! Quote with your fanart!

Another watercolour in that odd mat I found, surprising how it makes an unsuccessful piece more successful. This will be available for sale at the home studio tour this weekend. #watercolour

I found this rather odd mat (can’t remember where) but it worked for this painting that just was NOT working. #watercolour

It always surprises me how much difference a mat/frame makes on an artwork. #watercolour #abstractlandscape

Matting up some art for the upcoming Home Studio Tour.

Something of a departure from my usual style. #acrylicpens #moodyblues

Our Home Studio Tour open next weekend. I am sharing space with my mom @artofkirstenlaugesen Come out for this terrific self-guided free tour of the studios of thirty local artists. We can’t wait to see you all.

“We Will Not Be Censored” is finally finished, just as the UCP government has tried to ban certain books, some of which make up this assemblage painting. My submission for the @artstrathcona 40th Anniversary Show, “The Threads the Connect Us” #bookban #daniellesmith #censorship #reading #books

All set up at Strathearn, giving away three small paintings in a free raffle at the end of the day.
