Ex nihilo art & design by Hazel Keys

Pearl 16x20 oil on canvas. A commission piece ... location in the Kootneys BC. I took my time completing this one & only commission of 2020 but I loved the challenge . My right shoulder is still not completely healed so I’m limited in my daily amount of painting but it’s getting better!!! Curb side, contactless pick was a first for me. So odd to have to be so intentional to distance myself from my warm and friendly art collector

Birthday Flowers 12x12 oil on canvas panel. A gift for my daughter in love. A gracious girl, stronger than she knew! 2020 was stressful for pretty much all us but even more so for my son & daughter-in-law. They fled their home with a 2 & 4 year old in their arms (yanked from their beds) when a fire under the neighbors deck spread to their home. It was devastatingly destructive. I have watched them walk these last 8 months with grace, courage, love and generosity. I am so proud of you Carissa...it’s been a long, hard road and the journey isn’t over yet. You have a gift of making the spaces around you beautiful and are already planning your rebuild. Hope these flowers bring you joy when you hang them in your new home. @keyscarissa Happy Birthday!

Good morning! Hope your day is easy...like Sunday mornings

Just a little reminder of the beauty our earth produces...in a time of stress, isolation, missing family hugs and shared meals. If you are feeling the same, I hope these flowers brighten your day! No signature on this piece yet as I’m not sure if I’m done

#gamvar love! Just added a little shine to my Monday
