Deux Yeux ( loon) Spirit Wind ( horse)

My Loon composition was painted from an image I took from a shoot on our Lake, and was done in Acrylics. It was soon sold to a client from Renfrew, Ontario. He also enjoys the Loons from his Kayak...and said my painting represented the bird magnificently ...as an artist I guess we can't ask for more than that....

The horse was my first try with a mixed media. After doing a few workshops with watercolours with my excellent teacher Carole Rudderham, I was confident enough to attempt a watercolour background, with the main subject in acrylics. I'm very pleased with the results and my daughter in Alberta is now the proud owner...

Apparently having a blond moment! I forgot to click on the image. The water on that loon is fabulous! Love the ripples and the shore line colours. The sky is very nicely done on that horse. Those watercolour classes paid off!
