I am getting a lot of emails and messages asking about what does the embellished option mean. This makes sense as I am having a 30 percent off sale until December 1 at midnight! I hope this video helps. The sale ends Friday as I need time to paint your pieces to get them to you for Christmas! I love revisiting the images you order. It’s like getting back together with a friend. #embellishedprints #printsale #blackfridaysale #artprints
Years ago my Square Foot Show was in person. There was something special about that. People lined up in the cold of winter and grabbed paintings off the walls! My studio on James Street in Hamilton was where I hosted it and where I worked. Then Covid hit and I took it online with my team. It smashed the internet opening night! Now we have been able to lift emerging and established artists for the world to see! Literally the world! Artists from all across North America and even further participate, support and encourage and collect each others work even! I am super proud of the @squarefootshow team. This is special. This Thursday at 8 pm EST is the last show of 2023! Don’t miss it! Www.Squarefootshow.Com
Here’s a fun little East Coast painting! The original is long been sold but prints are available through my sale happening until December 1 only! Swipe over to see a door that I painted from a house in Boston, where my son went to school. It was beautiful and caught my breath when we walked by it! I have been so thrilled to see what you are ordering! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ #Artcoach #artist #canadianartist #landscapeartist #painter #studiolife #artistofinstagram #arttip #wallart #artdecor #design #gallery #artgallery #artforsale

I always answer this question by talking about colour aesthetic and personal palette. A person actually has a preferred palette. They tend to gravitate to the same types of colours over and over again. Recognizing this is very helpful when buying art. Buying art to match a certain colour theme may result in not being satisfied with the piece in the long term. I always say that if you are collecting things because you love them, they will go together. Buy that pillow because you love it, that throw and that rug! Only because you love it! Begin to trust that inner palette and aesthetic and you will create a collection that you can live with. Buy art you cannot live without! #howtomatchcolours #buyingart #decoratingtip #collectingart #paintings #overthecouchart
I often get asked if I teach. I used to do it regularly but had to stop, but now with the @crownandpressgallery and its wonderful space I can offer a class again! You have to get your ticket through @crownandpressgallery at www.crownandpress.com under Events. I am teaching August 4, 11-4 pm. All supplies except for brushes will be provided and lunch and coffee at the cafe! We put the link up early so if you have someone this would be perfect for as a Christmas gift you could access it! Hope to see you there! #artclass #lesson #paintingclass
“Love Broke Through” It always does! Today I celebrate with my daughter and her family about the successful adoption of their new daughter! What a good day. LOVE BREAKS THRU
When I first went to Moraine Lake I was just amazed at the beauty! I have since painted from my reference photos so many times! This original is sold but prints are available! My Black Friday sale is happening! 20 percent off prints and 30 percent off embellished prints. For the embellished prints I like to think it is a reinterpretation somewhat. I paint 1/4 to 1/3 of the image again with acrylic paint. Making it a new and unique piece! I am enjoying seeing what you have been acquiring. Each painting brings back memories. I am glad to share them with you!
This was a fun collaboration with @shepherdsfashions in Ottawa! We ran a contest together! This piece is available in print only through @shepherdsfashions in celebration of their 45 anniversary! They are an amazing company of women who support women!
Have you thought about painting as a series of decisions? Many of them, if you are a seasoned painter are done without thinking. But you often have to think through your solution and decide where you are going to go. My problem area most often is the upper left hand corner. What do you have trouble with?
Just three reasons! Can you think of more? As an artist I am so honoured by your purchase of something I put my heart and soul into creating. To share one’s work is a vulnerable place and to have it received is a feeling beyond compare! Thankyou!
So much fun today! We made coffee and had Christmas music on while a few friends and I decorated @crownandpressgallery for Christmas! Have you followed the gallery page yet? Make sure you do! We have some of the very best Canadian artists to inspire you! Thank you @b.mccaffertyart @kinnonliz @k_jenny55 @blondeladyhome @trudy.a.dejong @justin_scholman and @daveenstra for all the fun and help.
