Here is a little still life in wax paint. I am really enjoying it and it works well for my natural painting style. I blocked this one in yesterday and finished it today. Now I am exhausted.

This is my first try at Ceracolors water soluble wax paint. I like the texture I can get and the way the paint handles but I am sure there is much still to learn about it. #Ceracolors #stilllife #colourfulart

More work on this one today and a better photo. From Sea to Shining Sea, oil on cradled wood. #Canadianart #colourfulpainting #colourfulabstract

I should take a better photo but hey, I'm impulsive. Working on an expressive abstract series pouring out my feelings about current politics, being Canadian and having feelings, big oil-painty feelings about it all. #abstractart #oilpainting #Canadianartist #moodyart #abstractexpressionism

Sometimes you just have to change things and put the jug handle on the other side.

A scene from my imagination, inspired by some of my favourite places and favourite things. #colourfulart #interiorspainting #seascapepainting #cats #canadianartist

On my wall easel, 'Melting Snow', oil on wood. Probably getting close to finished, but I'm too exhausted to paint for a few days. #chronicillness #invisibledisability #neurodivergentartist

This is where layer 3 of Striped Jug got to today. It's time to leave it alone now, which is always difficult but fussing ruins the freshness I enjoy that comes from imperfect brushstrokes. #oilpainting #colourfulart #canadianartist #stilllife #flowersandjug

Just playing in my sketchbook with an over-sized brush and some paint I am trying to use up. #expressionism #sketchbookplay

The second stage of striped jug, colours are a bit brighter and warmer. It's time to leave it now. #colourfulart #stilllife #autisticartist #oilpainting

Sketchbook play on a day I had little energy. Sometimes I just play with colour and making marks. Sometimes I cover an old page with something new. There is too much white for my liking in the first photo so I'm sure that will change. #sketchbookplay #colourfulart #chronicillnes

Loose brushwork and muted colours was my intention for this one. Stripes are challenging when you have shaky hands. #stilllife #oilpainting #canadianartist

Sometimes it just makes me happy painting rectangles and circles. Watercolours and Neocolor 2 in Moleskine sketchbook.

I call these funky oysters. Colourful, undulating strokes of paint give the appearance of an opened oyster shell with a pearl inside. #colourfulart #autisticartist #sensoryseeking #sketchbook

JUST IN: A new H5N9 bird flu variant has been found in U.S. poultry for the first time at a California duck farm. This variant, linked to the dangerous H5N1 strain, has led to the culling of nearly 119,000 birds to stop the outbreak.

I stopped using acrylic paint for a couple of years but I am back to enjoying it for sketchbooks and mixed media work. I love this large Moleskine sketchbook too.

I recently spent a week in Portland visiting a dear friend. I had time for playing in my sketchbook while she was at work and these are two pages I like. There is a bit of collage along with acrylic paint. #Portland #sketchbook #mixedmediaart

A simple still life I painted recently. Pink Vase and Pears, oil on linen.

This is a recent oil painting called Crystal Lake, inspired by my local landscape and developed using my imagination. #canadianartist #oilpainting #colourfulart #neurodivergentartist #abstractlandscape
