Does anybody else's studio get as messy as mine? It can sometimes be a little bit overwhelming but with kids I often have to drop what I'm doing and run! Especially when they r both home sick like today. So i won't be getting much done today. Cold and flu season is here to stay now. .... #artstudio #novascotiaartist #artgallery #mylife #artpaysme #makingaliving #artistatwork See more

So many night sky paintings on the go right now. This is just a detail shot of one of those paintings.

Apple picking season is the best time of the year!!!! It's a beautiful weekend. I hope everybody's enjoying it as much as we are.

The interesting characters and things u stumble upon while looking for property in the countryside.... What another amazing day had!!! Now time to focus on a commissioned painting. . . #countrygirl #countryliving

Dollarama brushes! You can paint with just about anything! you don't need to spend a fortune on brushes. Notice how ragged and cheap they are. it doesn't even matter. look what paint can do on a canvas. But quality of the paint and canvas, on the other hand, does make a huge difference!!!! This is money well spent!! I always use professional heavy body acrylic level three. And when I'm using oils as well I always use professional-grade for brighter colours that are thick... and juicy. The brightness lasts with professional paints and they glide across canvas nicely creating beautiful works of art! . . #artprocess #artoninstagram #creativity #paintingclass #paintingprocess #paintbrush #howtopaint See more

Taking a break from painting to make enough zucchini soup to last forever lol. I love that our garden has provided us with so many fresh veggies and homemade goodness!! . #zucchini #zuchinisoup #homemadefood #momlife

Starting my day off right! Cozy on the floor with my coffee working on another large painting in my Ladies of the Night series. I have a long way to go and many more layers but these colours bring warmth to my heart on a crispy cool day. I hope everybody has a great day! . #skypaintings #halifaxart #novascotiaart #artoninstagram #skypaintings #inspired #fallcolors #warmcolors... #autumn #cloudpainting #indigenousartist #metisartist #morningcoffee #artheals #paintedskies #artistatwork #bigclouds #bigsky See more

Even on a grey day the view of the valley from north mountain is breathtaking! I cant get enough of this colorful quilted farmland. Such a wonderful day property hunting with great company. . .... #annapolisvalley #lookoff #novascotia See more

Good night world.... perfect end to a perfect weekend. . . #cabinlife #cabinliving #offgridlife #offgrid #cabinpeople #cabinlove #cabininthewoods @cabinfolk #lunenburgcounty #campfire #cabinfolk

Just the beginning. The first layer of my paintings are fun to do with my kids. Many more layers to come!

With the crispy cool fall air blowing through the screen of my front porch door into my studio I felt the urge to get out the warm fall tones and work with them some more. This is a painting I worked on a few weeks ago and decided to bring it out now that it's dry and touch up all of the cozy colors. I can hear the wind blowing through all the leaves close by, the dogs are running in and out with my new old fashioned farm screen door slamming behind them. The ducks are quac...king somewhere in the background and the birds are singing. It definitely feels like fall! my favorite time of year!! Happy Friday! . #fallcolors #autumn #cloudpainting #skypaintings #oilpaintings #artistatwork #artstudio #countryliving

My painting process ... the flow of music helps each brush stroke or swivel of my brush.

More layers today! So many oil pieces on the go I'm loving this process bringing light into the darkness. . #darkness #space #spirituality

Just a snippet from another larger painting in progress... Ladies of the night series. Oils I'm thoroughly enjoying this process experimenting with night scapes. The true meaning of the ladies of the night is something very close to my heart I will share when I have a few completed pieces ready to share. ... #nightsky #nightpainting #novascotiaart #skypainters #novascotiaartist #galaxy #night #stargazer #mystical #spiritualart #space

More might sky painting in progress after a beautiful refreshing hike. #happysunday Ps Notice my cheap Dollar Store paint brush. You don't need to spend a fortune on the fancy brushes. It doesn't matter what to paint with. Professional paint brushes are around 20 or $30 sometimes and I simply don't see the point of it. So if the cost of brushes is holding you back from experimenting with oil paints save your money I just go for it with any old brush or even your fingers!!

That little nose!!!!! Oh Julie u r too sweet!! But can u spot Mr.Cloud, one of our cats?

Everything is so much brighter and greener after the rain in my happy place. . . #greenismyfavoritecolor #cabinlife #cabinliving #offgridliving #offgrid #aftertherain #happyplace #lunenburgcounty #cabinlivin #lifeinthewoods #offgridlife
