Title or Location: Grizzer in Water
I'm just getting back into painting after a tough emotional year. I'm not going to lie - it's primarily a comfort for me. But the feedback I've received since sharing my paintings over the past month encouraged me to share them more. I had painted a few black bears for my neighbor and wanted to tackle a gizzly bear moving through water. I knew it'd be a challenge since I have never painted anything like this before but I'm pretty happy with the result. There were moments where I doubted if I

Title or Location: Porth Dinllaen
A favourite destination for visitors to the Ll&375n Peninsula in N Wales, Porth Dinllaen is a very picturesque fishing village only accessible by foot. This painting was inspired by one of the photos I took, but I chose to keep to one colour - orange to give it a kind of sunset look about it. The only other colour - red, was used to colour the pub?because it?s red!
