Mural by the Markham Group of Artists

                                                                             Directly above is the square that I did for this mural which now hangs in the Cornell Library in Markham. My square has the bottom of his left arm and part of the book. This was fun but challenging to do. Each square had to be a painting all unto itself and also a part of the whole image.

Sanctuary

Here is Sanctuary. It reminds me of stain glass windows in a church or century home.

Didi's workshop

 Here are two of the three paintings I started in Didi's May workshop. The top one is Coral Flourish. Sorry Coral Flourish just sold for $275.00.

                                    This one is called Deep Purple. The centre colour is more mauve than white.

Judy's Iris

Finally it's spring again. I had left another silk painting for a while when my sister in law spied it in my studio. She has a fondness for irises and announced that she would like to buy it. Of course I replied that it would be a gift but I just needed to touch it up a little............you know how that goes. But I did get at it and finished it to my liking. Now it is ready to be framed by Peter Moon of Bordered Image.

Ink and wash a la Barry Coombs

Here is "Bear with Me" my very first try at ink drawing and wash. Barry gave us a great workshop and I would recommend him to any group for a positive engaging instructive day. I had it framed at Bordered Image with a bright yellow matte and purple frame. I gave it to my first grandchild as a gift.

MGA Mural Project

Here is "Snail's Pace" my canvas for the mural project sample. I found this project challenging at first. We were each given a 6 x 6" section of one larger picture. The large picture was divided into 28 small sections. The challenge was to increase the size of our work to 12 x 12" and then make a realistic painting out of the section we were given keeping the same values and colours if possible. Mine became a garden with a snail, some bull rushes, mushrooms and a puddle. I will let you know how the project proceeds.The end result will be a mural for the Markham Public Library system to display on one of the library's walls.
