"Peanut Lid Biker" oil 6x8

Skid Lid, this biker sports a peanut lid, aka a naked shorty helmet. The red road is fraught with symbolism. Biking is fun, it blows out the cobwebs, yet let's be careful out there. Did you notice the smiley face?

"Macauley Point 2014" oil 11x14

Painted en plein air in Esquimalt, Vancouver Island. I was drawn by the trail of water left by the boats and trailers emerging from the harbour at Macauley Point.
While I was working, there were a lot of strollers-by who were intent upon walking around the surrounding bluff. I counted at least a dozen adults and three "crocodiles" of school children. I think one's hearing is accentuated when concentrating on a painting outdoors.....Want it? Put the title of the painting in the SUBJECT line and make an offer at kyknoord@outlook.com

"Kilt Lifter and Naughty Nellie" photos from Friday Harbor

These two bottles of beer caught my eye at Bean's coffee in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island. Even their cookies are good:

Granddaughter Megan twisted my arm and made me eat Bean's most decadent cookie but unfortunately my butt didn't shrink at all. Bummer!

"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.
