This large portait took up most of the first half of the year. This is Sarah Lacy, my mentor and friend. She is an amazing painter. Oil paint on canvas. #artadventcalendar #oilpainting #portraiture #ottawaartist
A portrait of a painter. She holds a paintbrush in her left hand and a skull in her right. She sits in front of a wall covered in her paintings and paintings by her student (me). On the table beside her is an array of items related to her: a teapot and cup, eggs, a dog skull, and a pencil and drawings on blue paper. She has long brown hair and is wearing a grey blazer and teal shirt.

Ripsaw, the pint-sized powerhouse with big fists and bigger confidence. Bold, scrappy, and unstoppable - this bear was built for chaos and cartoon glory.

"Simplicity"
These were all done on the same day, Feb. 27, 2017, in Montreal.
And looking back, I realize how good it is sometimes to just go to the essential.

Love me some ice cream. This one inspired by the local creamery in Carp. The Carp Creamery has the best ice cream in the world. That’s just a fact. And these days sometimes you need a good ice cream.
