"Calla, Arum Lily"
Daughter Jenn and I painted this from "life" today. The whites make for a pretty challenging gradation of values, helped here and there by a liberal application of the three primaries.

Arum Lily
Thursday, December 6, 2007
Jenn Wilson painted this abstract poinsettia today after buying the festive plant at a school fun-raiser concert to benefit travelling ukelele players.
I like the softness and the partial view of an otherwise very busy flower for artists to paint. Nice composition and overall treatment.

Beacon Hill Park - Mayor's Grove by Jenn Wilson
Jenn Wilson painted this lively rendering of the fall leaves of Beacon Hill Park. It is at once fresh and light, with good contrast and colour.
Beacon Hill Park in the Fall(-ing rain!)
Yes it was raining steadily, so I set up my paints in the bandstand next to the children's playground. Of course it was a no-school day so several crocodiles of kids came sheltering in after a few rides on the wet swings. Bless 'em, some said my painting was "nice" although I struggled with it. Anyhows, here it is - unpretentious, loose and brushy.

"Big Red Crab"
My daughter Jenn and I painted this critter from an earlier 6 x 6 study I had done of a crab on the beach at Duncan, BC.
We worked with brushy strokes and medium impasto to get a painterly result.
Not too finished, not too sketchy.
