October Breeze

Here is another painting from my trip to Gatineau during their wonderful fall season. October Stroll and October Breeze were both part of the 2009 Mona Lisa Show which featured paintings in full color for that year. It is an 8X10 gallery wrap and is for sale for $125.00

Mustang

Ever since I was a teenager I have loved Mustangs...especially convertibles. One day, before I get too old and gray, I plan to get one!! In the meantime I just salivate as I see one drive by and my heart races as I hear the engine. One day!!

As a member of the Mona Lisa Club at the Hidden Talent Art School, the students get an assignment each year for our spring show. The show is to celebrate Leonardo Da Vinci's birthday and is held at the Spot Light Gallery adjacent to the school. Our 2008 show was called the Black and White show. We had to paint using only black and white and were allowed to use a "touch" of color. So I had fun with the Mustang logo!

October Stroll

In October 2008 I went back home to Gatineau, Quebec to celebrate my 40th birthday. While there, I took some time to take pictures of the beautiful Gatineau hills in all of their splendor and colorful glory. The vibrant reds, oranges and golds are just breathtaking at that time of year. I was lucky enough to get quite a few amazing shots and wanted to capture some of that amazing deep and rich color. This painting was made even more special when my Mom offered to buy it from me. My first sale!! I know that it's my Mom but it still counts! I have a copy of the cheque to prove it!! LOL

This was my first venture in portraits which was also an entry into the 2008 Gamblin Torrit Grey competition. The competition rules indicate that you must use only Torrit Grey, Black and White to complete the paintings. I had never thought that I could do portraits but absolutely enjoyed the whole process.
