Cottage commissioned painting

I finally finished and sent this commissioned painting, and it was well received :)
Thanks for the business!

For Kitpu

I did up a quick pencil sketch for an auction to raise funds for the Kitpu Youth Centre, who needs help in able to keep their programs available to the kids who use them. The auction is Friday night, 7:30pm at 2203 Gottigen street, Halifax, NS.

Here's the pencil rendering I did up :

I can paint people, too!

Here is a painting I did for a commission that I donated to a fundraiser recently. I'm thankful I could put it on my blog to demonstrate that I can paint people, too! :)

And here it is in a lovely frame!

Acadia SMRK building

I really need to get a better camera then my webcam!

Here is a painting that I just finished to donate to a silent auction for the Recreation Management conference going on right now at Acadia University. This building is central to the Recreation Management course at Acadia, and so was chosen for its sentimental value, for any returning alumni.

The auction is on Friday, so here's hoping it does well!

Hummingbirds

Hey all,

I just finished a couple of commissioned paintings for a dear friend of mine, Muriel. She asked for 2 paintings of hummingbirds, and these are what I did for her :

She has not seen them yet - I hope she likes them! (although my webcam on my computer, my ONLY way to take photos right now, doesn't take very detailed photographs - the paintings in person will look much better!)

Finally...A new entry!!

Hey all,

Sorry for the wait - I've been pretty busy with work, and so haven't been able to update this blog, or do too many new paintings, for that matter.

I created this painting for an auction for the karate club that I am a part of. Hopefully, this will sell and raise some funds for the dojo. This is why the theme is the tiger, with the shotokan symbol ghosted in the background, as the shotokan tiger is the logo for our style ( I believe that's right, right Sensei?).

I really do need to get a proper camera, though - these webcam shots aren't too clear :S

Some more older paintings - thanks Dad!

Hey all,

I'm starting to actually compile pictures of paintings I have done as gifts, without documenting them first, to show my previous works to those who may be interested in commissioning a painting.

My dad sent me these pictures of 2 paintings I did for my parents over the years.
My parents are both musically gifted people, and so I'm having a hard time remembering if I made this for one of them in particular (sorry!).  They both play guitar, and so I painted this :

My dad even sent me a close ups :

I also did a painting of what I believe was a red-tailed hawk :

and another couple of close ups :

Thanks again, Dad!
