Ellis Creek Study

acrylic on canvasboard, 12" x 16"

This is a plein air study I did at my new favorite spot, Ellis Creek.  I plan to paint that particular scene again, as I am mesmerized by all the colors in the water.

Island Girl

Portrait No. 8

oil on canvas, 8" x 8"

Another portrait, the result of a 2.5-hour session, this time in oil.  As an exercise, I forced myself to do it entirely with a palette knife.  I used two knives to create this one.  The sitter was an exchange student from Beijing.
