925 Beach Kid, miniature, 2.5x3.5, oil on board

A quick sketch of a kid I saw on the beach near Ogden Point. I think it was a little boy but could have been a girl. I am working on a series of miniature paintings using minimal strokes. I'm starting with little beach scenes.

I'm also beginning work on the paintings I will be exhibiting at the Victoria Sketch Club's 107th Annual Show. (Wed March 16th to Sunday March 20th) Please come to Opening Night Tuesday March 15th 7 to 9 pm. Glenlyon Norfolk School 1701 Beach Drive in Oak Bay. Please consider yourself invited. Bring your friends.

860 Modest Beauties, oil on board, 6x6

sold-USA

This is the same bouquet gathered from yesterday. I turned the jar and liked the droopy calendulas and daisy and the big red velvety gerbera, and the now droopy snap dragons. There are a few lavender stocks that are so fragrant it was an extra treat to paint today.
Below is my set up.

634 Plum Blossoms

SOLD

The streets are lined with blossoming trees. I picked up these little plum blossoms on my way to the Empress this morning. I don't know about the purple block but I like the green pattern on the back cloth. I also like the way the blossoms turned out.
