June and July 2009

Well, the gallery exhibition in Toronto was quite an experience. I was able to meet a few really great people and it was nice to see so many other artist's work as well.

But the rest of the time in June/July was not that busy for me yet. The recession has really shown itself to me in the last couple of months because in spite of increased ads on my behalf, I've had the least amount of sold paintings since I've started painting. It seems like everyone is trying to save some money in these uncertain times. I did paint a few paintings, but not as much as usual. It is also nice to have my kids home for the summer and I spend more time with them as well in the summer :)

Well, here are the paintings from these last couple of months:

February and March 2009

Well I have not posted in a while, here is what I have painted lately... It has been a very stressful month.. my husband was laid off his work place and our investment property was burned down by one of our tenants. Dealing with insurance is really draining my energy.

Another batch of new paintings that I have completed

Well, last week the bakery let me know they had sold 5 paintings already, that together with the two my mom bought and another one that now belongs to my sister, their stock at the bakery was dangerously low, so I painted some more paintings for them. These are mostly horse, cow and moose paintings, plus one with an elephant family. I love painting silhouettes!

I called this painting "Just the two of us"

Here we have a male horse showing off :)
My son really loved the calf in this painting, he keeps calling it "Baby" :)
Here is a mother moose and its calf.
I call this painting "Cow on a Hill" not very imaginative, but it fit hehe.. this is my first try with pine trees. I would like to try this in color.
"Family of Moose" is the title of this painting. I really like how they appear to be walking across a lake with the reflection of the moon between the male and the female..
"Happyness" is the name of this painting with two horses nuzzling each other in the sunset.

I called this painting "Daisy", the name of my childhood horse. This is how daisy used to wait for me at the fence on a cold winter night to go back to the barn. I wish I could keep this painting for myself! I felt a bit homesick for Daisy when I painted this.

"Family of Elephants" is the only elephant painting I created this time, I wanted to try some other animals this week :)
