Ottawa Senators Logo

Another fun painting I did was the Ottawa Senators logo for my ex-boyfriend Tim for Valentines Day. Hopefully he will keep it because it is pretty cool! I printed the logo off and traced it using a lamp onto my canvas. 

Using a regular lamp to trace the image. 

Here you can see the traced image on my canvas.


Moving a long...

Almost finished. Just need to touch up the gold and black.


Finished! Of course I can pick out the faults but I was quite happy with it!

 Go Sens Go!  lol

Grinch Painting

Just before Christmas I decided to paint something fun as a gift for a friend. I took an 8x10 board and sketched The Grinch! I wasn't sure how the painting was going to turn out at first but I am happy with how it did. It was a change from the scenic paintings I have done. I spent about three whole evenings on this painting which is not a long time. I put the painting in a simple black frame I bought at Wal-Mart. 




Old Family Home

I finished this painting earlier this year. It took me a year off and on to complete. It has quite a bit of significance for me because the house was in my mother's family. The house is located just outside Digby, Nova Scotia. Unfortunately my grandmother was unable to see the painting before I completed it as she passed away last summer. 

Enjoy!
