A Sun Filled Bouquet – Recapping The Process

The Inspiration

A late August trip to pick summer annuals at Black Fox Flower Farms was the inspiration for my latest painting.

This sunny bouquet featured sunflowers, rudbeckia, zinnias and queen anne’s lace.

As you can see from the photo here, those yellows looked so fresh and bright against the background greens.

Let me show you how the painting process went.

Viewpoints Colour Blocks

Unique to our Artists’ Workshop 2023 show will be a set of works expressing our individual interpretations of the color palette featured in our Viewpoints show logo (pictured below).

My contribution takes the form of nine 8×8” color blocks on canvas each accented with a strip of copper foil. Three of them are pictured here.

They’re perfect to mix and match for wall display or as accents on shelves or side tables.

On view and on offer at our upcoming Artists’ Workshop Show and Sale happening at Grace Westminster Church (505 10th St E in Saskatoon) on Friday, April 21 (5-8), Saturday, April 22 (10-4) and Sunday, April 23 (12-4).

 

Trees

Trees feature prominently in some of the works I’ve been creating over the last year.

From the statuesque specimens of the Pacific Northwest, to the Boreal Forests of PA National Park, to the snow laden spruce boughs of a winter on the Canadian prairie, inspiration lives everywhere.

All of the tree themed works are presented in the traditional watercolor way with mats, glass and frames.

These are samples of what you will find on view and on offer at our upcoming Artists’ Workshop Show and Sale happening at Grace Westminster Church (505 10th St E in Saskatoon) on Friday, April 21 (5-8), Saturday, April 22 (10-4) and Sunday, April 23 (12-4).

Fall Colors

Amongst the favourite colours on my palette are the shades of autumn: sienna, gold, rust, orange, magenta and more.

September walks along the South Saskatchewan riverbank and city streets are an endless source of inspiration. Those fall scenes find their way into my work every single year.

In our upcoming show, I’ll be sharing four autumn themed works on paper mounted on gallery depth cradle board – varnished and waxed. There’s no need to protect them under glass.

Come enjoy them in person on view and on offer at our upcoming Artists’ Workshop Show and Sale happening at Grace Westminster Church (505 10th St E in Saskatoon) on Friday, April 21 (5-8), Saturday, April 22 (10-4) and Sunday, April 23 (12-4).
