After seeing Carol Marine's beautiful 2000th painting on Facebook I went to the cupboard and found my granddaughter Megan's baby shoes. Miss Marine's art is perfect, she inspired me to make my own version of Baby Shoes

"Tame Bantam"

This is a miniature oil on stretched canvas, 3 x 3 inches painted with water-soluble oils for the green people watching me! Your question/comment will be welcome, I like emails. BTW, it will look great in a kitchen - on the countertop with a tiny easel which I can supply too...

"Dog and Dinghy" acrylic and pencil 3x3 inches

I find that ACRYLIC together with PENCIL gives me a bright and happy finish. This miniature 3x3-inch painting on stretched canvas took on its own form. Quite nice colours...I guess a lot goes on in the unconscious mind too.

"Oak Bay Marina" children's washable markers

'Difficult to judge the size of a sketch when one sees it on one's computer screen, so I'll tell you - 4 x 4 inches approximately.

It's from my sketchbook, done in washable markers. As an experiment I tried washing it out but the colours are still there! Look out, parents!

"Garden bench" Finnerty Gardens oils 6x8

A most daunting place to paint - Finnerty Gardens. Not because it's pretty but the artist is surrounded by plants at every turn. So I chose to paint like a millionaire with thick, juicy paint.
