BIRTHDAY JOY! I had a fun and lazy birthday. I went for 2 walks did some shopping bought some mechanical pencils and a notebook, treats for me! Played with our puppy, enjoyed the pretty snow day and did some drawing and reading! I get to spend the evening game night with my family! Happy and feel content. The only thing I miss today is friends and family for visits! Big hugs and thanks for the b-day wishes ! #birthday #joy #lifeisgood #lifeisshortenjoyit #walk #photography #sky #fun #happy #hawkesfineart #artistforlife

Not done yet But I might have to keep it! This one has been in production for a few weeks - Its come together slowly and is amalgamation of a photo I took at Mount Robson and a sky photo I took, Who know when?? I was blessed to get to paint the day away and I get to stay up till 12 - I promised my kids - To bad I had complete insomnia last night! hehe do any other of you artists or moms get insomnia ?? Well I'm sorry for your sleep deprivation! Happy new year! to all of you f...riends and family and wonderful supporters of my work! I wouldn't get to be the artist I am without all of your support! I pray 2021 will be mostly covid free! #hawkesfineart #landscape #modern #contemporary #workinprogress #nouveau7 #canadianartist #inspiration #inspiredbynature #happytocreate #happynewyear #thanks #mountrobson #2021 #mountains #homedecor #walldecor #originalart #original

Works in progress will be first paintings in 2021! Lots from photos of camping this last summer -Mount Robson in a couple -Im getting better at trees! Its so nice to know you get better at things you practice everyday! Being a little trapped by Covid this strange year, has given me more time in the studio, yay! But I sure miss companionship with my friends and family! I hope all of you have some special people to spend the holidays with. Im happy if my temporary discomfort ...of social distancing helps keep even one older relative from dying, then its 100%worth it! Hang in there and pray this will be over soon! Love the ones your with.

Well I decided to do this painting as a fundraiser for Canadian health care workers. I was so struck by the images of nurses with bruises from the goggles and masks they have to wear for long hours. It made me cry and then I thought what can I do? This is my small thank you to all of you dedicated nurses, doctors and health care workers! We appreciate the self sacrifices you are making to care for our sick and vulnerable! This painting will be auctioned off through Avens gall...ery with 100% of the proceeds going support our Canadian health care workers - if you would like to put in a bid contact Betti at the Avens gallery in Canmore! The painting is 24x36 on gallery wrap. It's called 'Hero's' for obvious reasons. #nurses #COVID-19 #hero's #fundraiser #healthcare #hawkesfineart #nouveau7 #portraits #avensgallery #auction #originalart #acrylicpainting #angels #guardianangels #thankyou #art #original

Spring sky is part of my up-coming show at Lloyd gallery in May. We all hope the craziness will be over by then, but if not the show will be online. I personally want to thank all of the doctors and nurses working overtime to help their communities! And my heart goes out to all of the families struggling with wage cuts and loss of jobs! I truly hope you are all able to return to work soon! On a positive note I am enjoying my 10 and 13year olds constant company! Home schooling will start next week! Best wishes everyone and may you find some much needed rest! -Erica #hawkesfineart #ericahawkes #lloydgallery #originalart #acrylicpainting #art #landscape #modern #contemporary #spring #sky #sunset #walldecor #design #home #senic #sunset #clouds #lake #water
