Vancouver 🇨🇦 based full-time oil painter. SFCA. There's pretty much just art here. A bit of my own work and reposts of other peoples' art that I like too.

Across cultures and traditions, these early November days are a time for remembrance - of saints, of souls, of those we’ve loved and lost. Death may be certain but, while we’re here, we should also remember to live.

These two little pieces were adopted by good friends of mine. For some reason, pairing them up had never occurred to me. It's great when collectors show you new ways of thinking about your work. These are "Box Spring" and "Dantealion".

Seems to be no consensus on what colour #peach actually is - a candidate for the "50 Shades Of..." spinoffs it seems. 😆 So here's my pitch for today's prompt for #acoloradaypril - from 2024, oil on ACM - this is "Wrapricot". #artshare #artyear #stilllife #oilpainting #classicalrealism
