I am desperately waiting for the Feb. thaw! Winter scenes are truely Canadian and I love to paint them! The challenge is to discover the color that is waiting in all that whiteness-oranges, magenta, cool teal blues!
This painting is from a trip to Terrace BC, where they get to -10 and have LOTS of snow! There are old growth forests and many rivers and streams to check out and of course paint. The original and Giclee are available. Contact me if you wish to see it in person!
While you are tucked safely inside to keep warm visit Jeff's website at http://www.jeffhayes.com/ . It is a great find-a realist painter who does a glorious job of painting everyday object....a reminder that all things are fair game when it comes to putting paint on canvas! A Painting-a -day is a very popular theme for painters. We get alot of paintings done and they are small and affordable for our collectors!
Speaking of small....The Mona Lisa Club will present a Black and White Art Event in April, Sat 12 and Sun 13 from 1:00-4:00. There will be a gallery filled with $100 8x10 painting, all black and white with a touch of color. This is a remarkable opportunity to buy originals that will go anywhere in your home. This will also introduce you to our methods of painting-we do a monochromatic underpainting, sometimes in black and white, then layer color overtop. You can have a sneak peek at www.laurawatmough.com under galleries/black and white.
Currently I have a pear still life on the go, as well as a large Iris painting that is in the gallery, ready for me to do more underpainting.....come by and see the progress! When you get cabin fever...the gallery is open and the coffee is on!
