And again my favourite pomegranates!

This painting looks close to the previous one I've made last year due to the same cloth that was used as a background. I like this color the most to emphasize red flam of the pomegranates.

Late Spring Plein Air



In the end of May I went again to enjoy plein air work as well as hot tab at the St.Agnes Well Hot Springs. I can honestly say that this is the most spectacular backcountry road I've ever had. This time it was very windy to paint (I can hardly hold my easel on its legs!), but I've made one finished painting and couple more sketches that still need some touch ups. I'll add them later.

One more my achievement!

Granville Bridge. Plein-air sketch
SOLD

739 artists of all ages challenged themselves to capture the beauty of nature, urban life, and their imaginations in the 3rd Annual Opus Outdoor Painting Challenge, held at six Opus locations across BC on Saturday, May 10th, 2014.

 My oil sketch is the second prize winner!

I choose Granville Island location where over 300 participants came to paint that day. Gloomy weather turned beautiful sunny day in an hour after beginning. Thus, I was very glad to add some light bright accents to reflect that changes. That was a great expiriance and fun!

Also, the watercolor by James Koll my colleague from the Burnaby Artists Guild placed second at the Downtown location.
