Fall Fruit reshot photo

My first painting class from this year's classes at NSCAD. This was a piece I did for homework, one of many!

Fireworks for Wine

A pencil drawing with a touch of ink; of one of our favorite mares for my father, an older drawing.

Sushi Anyone?

Stinky fish observational paintings were never so appetizing! *laughs* One of my first attempts in oil, I'm really proud of this one. Hurray oil painting!

WOW - Lots of things happening.

#1

Thank you (albeit belated) to the multi-talented Cara :iconart-fromthe-heart: for this incredible new avatar :iconthewindwraith:! Please take a look at some of her incredible art - it will take your breath away - to be so talented and so incredibly kind, how lucky we are to have people like you here on dA, girl! Thank you again, I'm thrilled :D :heart:

Some of her other lovely works:




Many of her pieces are also for sale, so if something catches your eye, check with her! I'm pretty sure she does giclee prints for most of her paintings too. Hurray :)

For anyone interested, we still need about 5-7 more participants for the art exchange discussed in my last journal which can be found in full detail in the last journal I posted prior to this.

Basically it is open to anyone who wants to participate from any part of the world - just remember it is a long process. We each buy a moleskine journal (any type but if you want a specific type of art - collage, writing, watercolour, misc. drawings, photos - there are specific kinds that may suit) in the smaller sizes of 5x7 or 8x6 ish that are easy to ship) and then do a round robin where your new art journal floats to each person and we all do a spread or two in turn - what happens is you end up with a completely unique, beautifully filled sketchbook of art from friends from around the world to treasure! I have just done one and it was INCREDIBLE getting my journal back - seriously, the best experience I have ever had. And I made so many new friends. Definitely worth checking out if you like to draw or write, collage or paint once every couple of weeks.

Participants thus far:

#3 (really number one for me to be honest though! Hee; I wanted to save the surprise for last)

WE ARE GETTING A NEW DOG IN JANUARY!!!! CORMIC IS COMING HOME AFTER CLASS IS OVER! HURRRRRRRRRAAAYYYYYYY!!!!

My new show boy. I CAN'T WAIT!!! I plan to do the Nationals with him. I've watched him grow from a puppy and have been handling him lately, he's INCREDIBLE. I'll be co-breeder on any of his litters with the kennel too. Sweet. Either way, I wouldn't care so much about that he's the sweetest guy you ever met, absolute goof - always wants his treats and pats and just a darling temper on a stunning dog. His breeding is outstanding, he's got a great great gait that just floats and best of all - our current girl (spayed) Arwen - LOVES him. They play so well together. WHOHOOOOOOO! I can't wait to have the two of them running in the backyard or over the agility course or herding together out at the farm some day soon. January can't come soon enough! *squee* Also - if he doesn't sell before January when we're ready to bring him home - there may be puppies by him at some point down the road too. WOW! He's already thrown one litter from a American and Canadian Ch sable that were stunning and has another on the way from a different smooth sable that Arwen and I see at the shows winning pretty frequently too (the lady who owns him took that show picture in fact of him in the ring with Brian).

Recent (last few months) pictures:

Puppy pictures from last year:


Our current girl Arwen - who is about the same size; they match so nicely on leashes - hee hee hee! Arwen and I compete in rally (advanced now, she already has her first title in it - RN); obedience (almost done with the CD - one more win needed) has her CGN already, herding (sporadic though) and we're doing agility right now - she has a class on Saturday in fact, a fun match for beginners; high jumps and shoots. She's quite the pup! Having a second pup to keep her company will be amazing. They play so well together already, it's heartmelting to see the two of them stretched out sleeping on the blanket next to each other.

My baby girl Arwen out at the farm:


Though I say she has perfect ears here they are a touch high - but ah well!


My girl being sweet on the grooming table, hee:
