Slow Spirit an impressive band from Brandon

Attended Brandon Works in Progress Cabaret on Friday  night and did this quick oil sketch of the band performing on stage. Wish I had a bit more time than half an hour.

A window view at noon


In the bright morning light

A quick oil sketch from our bedroom window at 10 a.m.  It was sunny but cold with gust of wind. A glimpse of the Canada Post mail man coming  to deliver mail.

Window view at noon

Sunny sky and warm weather seemed to have added to the intensity of the light and color outside.The window view was such a delight to paint at noon hour.

Sunrise early in the morning

Moved my easel to our front yard early in the morning to try to capture the beautiful moment of the day with its splash light and colors.

Full moon in the early morning sky

Full moon remained in the early morning sky at 7 a.m.

Snowy night

It was snowing heavily outside late in the evening. Spent only half an hour to do this quick oil sketch.

Snowy

Cloudy and snowy it was outside , however there was something  cozy and serene about this snowy view.

It will be my full moon Valentine

A full moon night when the warm street light was foiled by the glisenting light of the full moon outside.


In the warm wash of late afternoon sunshine

The sun came back after a snow storm. The warm receding sun light was so inviting  that I could not resist what I saw through the bedroom window before supper.

Snow falling heavily outside

Snow started to fall heavily outside, and a blizard was on the way in the afternoon. A quick oil sketch of the window view looking outside with two elementary students struggled their way against wind and through the snow on their way home from school.

In the warm light of late afternoon

Always a challenging task to try to capture the last fleeting moment of sunshine before evening light creeps in.
