SOLD The little Namibian girl I painted up the other day looks like she needed a little company ;) so I would paint her up a friend. I just love this little guys expression of sucking in his bottom lip. 2.5 * 3.5 in Watercolor on 140lb CP paper $20.00 plus shipping

I haven't done a watercolor portrait in a few months so I thought I would stick with the mini theme I have been dabbling with and try out an artist trading card format 2.5 * 3.5 inch for this little girl. Hope you enjoy :) Watercolor on 140lb CP paper

Another mardi gras mask - this time in miniature form. 2.75 * 2.75 inch acrylic on stretched canvas includes a mini display easel

This mini painting was inspired by a garden statue located at the Butchart gardens in Victoria, BC. This statue was recessed into a wall and surrounded by lush greenery and gorgeous flowers which is a beautiful contrast against each other. 2.75 * 2.75 in acrylic on stretched canvas initialed on front and signed/dated on back

I dont know about you all but my day does not start without a hot cup of Java. Limited to 2 cups a day, but if I dont get my coffee and 10 min in the morning - just dont talk to me. ;) I think that is why my day starts at 4:30am, just so I can have a little quiet time before the chaos of the day starts. This is how I fill my extra time before my family gets up. Hope you enjoy 2.75 * 2.75 inch acrylic on stretched canvas - includes mini display easle SOLD

SOLD Hi everyone, Hope everyone is staying warm. I thought I would try and get this one in before the big Hockey game starts. For those who dont know it is the Heritage classic an outdoor professional NHL game between Calgary and Montreal. Only the second time being played in Canada! Well it is -30 celcius with the wind chill so it will be interesting to see who will be victorious without to many injuries. I dont even like hockey but it is part of my life since getting married so...i thought I would share my pain... ;) lol Anyways Hope you like the new mini 2.75 * 2.75 inch on stretched canvas comes with a mini display easel ***SOLD** Tammy

6 * 9 * 2.5 in treasure box acrylic on wood finished on the inside covers with complimentary decorative paper Somedays my life is really reflected in what I paint, and I dont even realise it until a piece is completed and then I stand back and go hmmmm... where did that come from. I am such a happy, passionate person that when I look at these somber/exhausted woman pieces I really question my inner peace so I am going to Try and paint happier woman from now on.. :) Well, we will see anyways ;)

For most of the country the little groundhogs say that spring is right around the corner - except us :( Balzac Billie says that we have 6 more weeks of winter left. hmmmmm I think I am done with the white stuff already. So if you cant beat em you may as well join em. and start making the best of it. So the kids and I got out and did just that and this is what we came up with. Hope you enjoy :)

I haven't posted a WIP is a long time so I thought I would stop by and show you this mountain bluebird painting I have been working on in between sewing projects. :) 9 * 12inch canvas board. Here are the first intial stages mostly just blocking in the large masses of color. starting to define the shape a bit more on the leaves and feather pattern Almost done! Went back in to reshape his head , eye and bottom breast a little. Added more shading under his body to tail feathers. I realized after photographing the last shot something was off - the lighting didnt match. So .... will be going back in today to try and give the tree more of a rounded shape by moving the shadows to the right side of the tree (hehehe oops... )and maybe pump up the highlights on some of the leaves. :)Till next time Happy Painting! 9 * 12 acrylic on canvas board signed and dated on both front and back Donated to Canadian Artists for the Poor

So every once in a while I google myself - just to make sure I am not having anything negative associated with my paintings and I came across this article in the World News!!!!!!!. http://article.wn.com/view/2011/01/08/A_splash_of_watercolour_in_a_dull_month/ If you scroll to the bottom of the article smack dab in the middle is a link to my you tube 2009 video of my paintings. You cant even imagine how excited I am! :) I am very honored and privilaged to whomever came by and admired my work enough to give me a feature spot. *** big hugs **** Thank you!

I cant believe I am actually saying that despite my traumatising grade 9 home-ec sewing class experiences. :D But my wonderful husband bought me a sewing machine - 2 years ago now - hehehe and it has only seen the light of day during our wedding and halloween - so I thought I would dust it off and see what I could put together. Hope you enjoy!

Well i thought I would try something new with this watercolor pour of a wren sitting on a fence. Inspired by my favorite site - wet canvas - they were hosting pour challenges for the past few months and I have finally gotten around to trying this technique. Not going to win any prizes but i think this may be something i try again.
