New work. Longing to get back outside to plein air paint in glorious Nova Scotia’s South Shore. Next best thing is to paint from a photo captured last year. Acrylic on canvas, 12”x12”

Small gouache today. Taken from photo I took on West Ironbound Island during my artist residency there. Other than two artists, the only other residents on the island was a flock of hardy sheep. #gouachepainting #gouache #sheep

Demo from today’s workshop, painting with acrylics on watercolour paper. One of my favourite substrates to use with high flow acrylic, the way the paint reacts to the paper is magical. I pre-mounted the watercolour paper to a birch panel. #acrylicpainting #highflow #landscapepainting #demo #ocean

I’m on a learning curve this past year with gouache. I love how convenient, light, and transportable this medium is, especially when plein air painting. So far, I’m loving it. This is a little 6x6 of Stonehurst, NS. #gouache #smallpaintings #landscapeart #gouacheart #canada #atlanticcoast #pleinair
