1326 Tuna Boat, 8x10, egg tempera

Sold-Edmonton

 The sign said "Best Tuna Fishing on Earth". Well, it was off season so we fished for mackerel. I did see tuna jumping all over the place. I guess the tuna knew it was not tuna season. It was nice to be out on the windy sea as it was scorching hot. Plus, I liked eating mackerel.

The Olde Dublin Pub makes the best Curry. And they play Trivia every week. Trivia is very popular on the Island...as well as a Ceiligh every night somewhere on the Island. No end to musical talent!

1180 St Dunstans Basilica, Charlottetown, 8x10, egg tempera

sold-Coon Rapids MN USA

Here's a New Year's scene from Charlottetown. The woman in the middle of the street walked by me and said "I'm going to New Year's Mass at the Basilica". She was bursting with energy and a huge smile. Her joy and enthusiasm was the best testament ever. I was so tempted to follow her. 

I will post this on an ebay auction tomorrow. I have started working on my website. (www.artbydarleneyoung.ca). I deleted the hundreds of images I had on there. Now I want redesign the website so that it is organized and the paintings are organized into what's available, prints, and auctions.  It's a free weebly website. It will do all that I want it to do. The problem is that I don't know how to build a website with weebly....Totally forgot how I did it in the first place. Now I have to relearn it and I'm a little technologically phobic. Plus the old brain is....well....old and wearing out.  I'm going to watch some youtube tutorials on how to build a website with weebly.

1175, Charlottetown, Steeples, 8x10, egg tempera

sold-USA

Another charming subject. This work has dozens of layers of glazes. Especially the snow in the foreground has a lot of depth.
I can go a little overboard with the snow on the branches and power lines...but it really is that snowy in Charlottetown. And the snow tends to be the sticky sort...perfect for making snowmen.

563 Charlottetown Winter Morning

Most Canadians like to go someplace warm during the winter but not me. I want to go where inspiration takes me.
Snow is all about shadows and reflections.
