I can't believe I never mentioned the pie!!!

Here are the menus I created for Aphrodite's Pie Shop in Vancouver a while back.

It was a joy to create delicious boards for delicious pies!


(sorry for the poorer quality of the above photo - it was taken with my phone and after a good many months had passed)

Well Oil Be!

Having only attemted two oil paintings so far, there is clearly much for me to still learn about this technique. However I am not altogether unhappy with the results of these two pieces.

The first piece was created at a workshop of artists in Whistler when I had the opportunity to learn from Rod Charlesworth. Here I "distinguished" myself as a watercolour girl in an oil landscape:My second piece was commisioned/encouraged/supported by my colleagues and was created to be an item in the silent auction at our school's annual fundraiser. It has a different feel to it than the first. Titled: Birch (seen here unframed)
