First Kiss for the Frog Prince

Material:  mixed media (acrylic paint, coloured pencils, collage) on 6 x 6 wrapped canvas.
Status:  Gone to a happy home.

Notes:  I have long had the princess and frog painting in my head, and I have always loved when other painters used bits of print in their work.  I am so pleased with this concept - I can't wait to do it again! 

My very good friend, Kat, said I might want to add some other skin-tones to my paintings...and so I did.  I love the mocha-latte coloured skin with the bubblegum cheeks. 

For the text, I opened a book about Emily Dickinson, and came to a poem with a prince in it....I had to do it...I cut into my book, with no regrets!

Four Seasons Tree

This was a commission for a friend.  It is a gift for a family that recently adopted a little girl from China.  The idea was to represent each of the four seasons, with the words: "through every season may you:  Imagine, Believe, Love, Laugh."  The words are all on the inside edges of the painting; a hidden message.

The maple tree, a symbol of Canada was a must in this painting. 

Materials:  Acrylic paint on 4 separate canvases.
