I’m so glad I have a dog that gets me out waking in the woods even on very cold winter days. Inspiration comes to me in so many ways - nature is at the top of my list. And seeing this abandoned car... well it caught my attention!

Homeward Bound This has been on my easel since the beginning of the year. Still not sure it is done but I'm taking it down for now to move onto other pieces. Sometimes you just have to let them sit for a bit and go back later.

Today was the day to try a quick study on a poinsetta. Much looser than my normal style and yet I still got bogged down in detail. I almost didn't post because of what I see as "mistakes" or imperfections. But I decided to because I had fun doing it and I'm committed to @alainpicard #create30challenge. #christmasdecor #poinsettia #softpastel #softpastelpainting #bokeh #bokehbackground #bloom #flowers #floralpainting #panpastel #representationalart #originalart #originalpainting #ygkart #ygkartist #emergingartist #canadianartist #ontarioartist
