Garden Tanager

I'm just about finished painting the largest canvas I've ever purchased (just deciding where to put my signature on the 30 x 40" canvas). While this new scale was completely intimidating as a blank canvas, the piece became a place of peace and calm while I was painting it. It was completed for an art show coming this October, My Life in Colour with Roger Garcia, Amanda Woodward and Davey Thompson - it's tied in with a couple old pieces from last years show entitled Growing Up (held at the McMullen Gallery Fall of 2009, the remaining pieces are soon to start their journey with the AGA's travelling art exhibition, TREX, which to my delight has been completely booked!).
