A mural for the Indoor Play Area at Terwilleger Rec Centre


The Indoor Play Area has a stage that had blank walls.  Our hope is by adding these characters that are performing and play acting, that it will give the kids the idea to do the same!

You can only see part of the mural from the hallway windows which is a bit of a shame.  My personal favourites are the little boy on the moon and "Canadian Girl"!

Of course the characters and mural layout was designed by me as well as the painting of it.

Caricatures at a fundraising event and at a company party

These girls were such a blast and talk about cute!

Caricatures at a fundraising event for The Stollery Children’s Hospital at Jox Sports Bar & Grill. These girls were such a blast and talk about cute! When they walked up and said they wanted a caricature, I could hardly contain myself because I could see instantly that they had such pizzaz that it was going to be fun drawing them.

then,
Another good time at a company party! ....

Fun at Leduc #1’s Annual Rib Cook Off

The rain didn’t stop the fun at Leduc #1’s Annual Rib Cook Off. My family stopped in to check it out and my son was in heaven since his favourite meal involves ribs!  Oh, and he said “the chocolate waffles were D-E-E-LISH!”

You can enjoy seeing where Alberta’s first oil derrick is located and take a historical tour of Alberta’s most important industry at the Leduc #1 Energy Discovery Centre.

Some caricatures from the day:





Caricatures at Muttart Conservatory celebrating Canada Day

Started the day by doing maple leaf chalk art leading up to the Muttart doors then enjoyed meeting and drawing nice families inside.  Just another day of being proud to be Canadian.  What a great land we live in, OH YA CANADA!

I SPENT THE DAY ON A SCAFFOLD!

For a girl who is slightly afraid of heights, Ross at Western GMC made me feel safe up on the scaffold. Watching me get down off the scaffold would have been amusing - graceful NOT! I’ll miss doing work at Western GMC (I don’t think they have any bare windows left!) .... till their next big promotion.

A Keepsake in a Painting

What a perfect way to have a lasting memory of a loved one. My client’s Grandmother loved iris’. This flower painting will be something that will warm their home and warm her heart for years to come.
I thoroughly enjoyed using a palette knife for a lot of it.

Acrylic painting on canvas 2.5’X3’.

The colours in the painting were chosen by my client. Another nice advantage to commission me to do a painting. I'd love to create a painting for you too...

I'm at Western GMC Edmonton this week painting windows!

Spending some quality time at Western GMC this week painting windows!  The management are awesome and the salesmen more than happy to help me in any way.  There are some places I feel comfortable being a part of right away and others, not as much.  Western GMC is a good one!   Standing on their 10 ft ladder for these Window Paintings...
