Sign of the Times Hand sanitizer is everywhere and fortunately the geraniums are coming back to life to give us some much needed visual relief from the spring wet and grey and rainy. Pushing for new levels of understanding as a painter is always tough - leaving the comfortable and predictable to look out into the places where you are not so confident or sure...

Cameras miss a lot of the good stuff in shadows and light but if you spend the time looking when you're out there, you can bring those nuances back to the studio.

Zoom Classes - I've been doing a number of these over the last number of months as an alternative to the face to face experience - Because that's no longer possible in the short term, starting on Feb. 11th we will offer 5 weeks of 3 hours sessions on Thursday afternoons for Oil & Acrylics painters from my studio here in Stayner. If that of interest to you, please let me know and I will forward you the details. #artworkshop #arteducation #landscape #artteacher #pleinair #artistsofinstagram #brushstrokes #colortheory #artclass #howtopaint #artlesson #artschool #artworkshops #artadvic #paintinglesson #expressivepainting #artprofessional #paintinginspiration #oilpaintingtechniques #arttutorial #withlightandshadow #jessicacrandlemire #pleinairmag #southhamtonarts

March light on Lake Killarney This was a little study on snow colours from the last workshop on the colours of snow...so many and so varied and the camera misses most of them that your eyes can see. #artworkshop #arteducation #outdoorpainting #landscape #artteacher #pleinair #artistsofinstagram #brushstrokes #oilpaintingonboard #colortheory #artclass #outdoorpainting #howtopaint #arthistory #artlesson #artschool #artworkshops #artadvic #paintinglesson #expressivepainting #artprofessional #paintinginspiration #oilpaintingtechniques #arttutorial #withlightandshadow #jessicacrandlemire #pleinairmag#southhamtonarts

Not a masterpiece! True...as a matter of fact it was a problem looking for a solution. I won't tell you either but you should know that I'll sleep better tonight having wrestled the problem to the ground. This garden sketch will rest in peace too. #artworkshop #arteducation #outdoorpainting #landscape #artteacher #pleinair #artistsofinstagram #brushstrokes #oilpaintingonboard #colortheory #artclass #outdoorpainting #howtopaint #arthistory #artlesson #artschool #artworkshop...s #artadvic #paintinglesson #expressivepainting #artprofessional #paintinginspiration #oilpaintingtechniques #arttutorial #withlightandshadow #jessicacrandlemire #pleinairmag #southhamtonarts See more

Spring inspirations from my sketches last spring are in my mind given the greyness of this years' start not to mention Covid challenges and politics in general. Freshness in the air, the sky and the new opportunities that are suggested by the anticipation of new possibilities are a good elixir for painterly possibilities.

Pushing paint like you mean it was quoted back to me from a frequent attendee of my workshops. It was quoted when this demo was posted a few weeks ago about the brushwork- your brushwork is your signature. It would be a bonus if it said something about you.

Lingering beauty of Christmas Day Despite the trauma, inconvenience, unsettled & lingering sense of things not being " right", courtesy of politics and Covid among other challenges, there can be inspiration towards a more positive look, from our home in Stayner, at the absolute beauty of light and colour, physical and spiritual in all that surrounds us whether artists or not. #impressionism #impressionist #canadianart #landscapeart #landscapeartist #landscapepainter #contemporarylandscape #landscapepainting #canadianlandscape #canadianartist #abstractlandscape #canadaart #art #contemporaryart #artist #pleinairpainting #instaart #originalartwork #artcollector #contemporary #oilpainting #oilpaint #oilpaintings #artforsale #artoftheday #oiloncanvas #originalart #instaartist #artistofinstagram
