Old Uncle Grampy

This is my grandfather. It's based on a photo taken when I visited my grandparents in England in 2006. I know straight realistic portraiture isn't usually my thing, but I thought it would be nice to work that way for this piece. This painting is currently part of a portrait challenge at Sleeping Giant Gallery. A number of different artists painted/photographed their grandfathers or uncles, and everyone who comes to the exhibit tonight gets to vote for the best piece. The winner gets a free 1 week solo exhibit.

The poster for the event is below. I put that together too!

Thesis!

I Live Here Now

Here is my piece for the "It's Meant to Bee" show that is currently on at DatSalon until the end of the month. A bit different for me, but that was the goal of the show!

Animal

Here are a couple of paintings I did this year for my painting class.

99 Red Balloons

Apologies about not updating in a while, but I have a few paintings ready to share so perhaps you will all forgive me.

This little painting is for a show at Canteen Gallery in Ottawa. The show features 99 different images by 99 different artists, each 9x9 and selling for $99 or $66 dollars. The show opens on May 14th and runs until May 31st.

White Cloud, Buttermilk Sky

Hello lovelies! I have a show coming up at Hotshot Gallery in Kensington Market. It is opening on March 11 and runs until March 21st. There is a really fab group of artists showing lovely paintings and fluffy cloudy goodness.


This is the poster made by Andrea Manica, who also curated the show!

Here is one of my pieces from the show! The rest are centered around this one!

Darth Vaderrr

I made this back in October for the Halloween show at the Starving Artist. I never got around to uploading it, so thought I would now!

ALSO, here is a teaser of the work I'm submitting to the show. Yes, these photos were taken with photobooth, and thus are terrible quality. That is why they are teasers.

Painting Turned Photo!

Hey my lovelies! Remember this piece I did a while back, for the Square Foot Show?



WELL, my wonderful amazingly talented photographer friend Zachary Koski did a photoshoot inspired by it! I'm planning on painting a couple of his photos, and he chose to photograph this painting. Kind of fun! I'm hoping to do a show like this, I think it would be fun. Anyways, here is the image!


There is another photo in the series, check it out on his website: http://www.zacharykoski.com
