This slideshow records the stages of painting a mural for a baby's bedroom. Get Well Soon Bouquets5/22/2013 I recently received 2 beautiful bouquets of flowers. They inspired me to do a painting of each one out of oil pastels.
They were a wonderful distraction from how I was feeling and helped to cheer me up. Many Thanks. Spring in Toronto5/17/2013 I haven't been able to get out and enjoy all the spring blossoms due to a bad case of shingles. I did manage to take a few pictures on my way home from the doctor's office and the last couple of days I have been trying to paint cherry blossoms to help brighten the day. "Cherry Blossom Time" mixed media 11 x 14' High Park, Toronto, On This is the painting I started while at High Park yesterday. It was a perfect day to sit on a bench and paint the beautiful Sakura blossoms. A Beautiful day n the park shared with good friends. I added more pink today. High Park, Cherry Blossom Trees, paintings from other yearsHigh Park, Toronto, ON is worth the drive to check out the beauty of spring. The Japanese Cherry Trees are glorious this time of year. All the pinkish white blossoms are in full bloom and stand out in contrast to the dark gnarly, knotted and twisted trucks and branches. It's the quantity and the age of the trees that make them stand out. The cherry blossoms are not the only flowers in bloom in the park. There are some of the other flowers shown below. For the many other flowers I did not capture, the park kindly provided a large vase full of the park's fresh flowers, located by the Parkside St. entrance. Please enjoy the slideshow below.

Arrangements can be designed, photographed to show best set up and all sent out in a box or container or stone holder if desired. People can buy one to many to make up a bouquet. Additions made at any time. Stones/rocks are prepared with a base coat and then painted and when completed, spray varnished several times or if for out doors - painted varnish with UV protection. These were painted on small river rocks. Samples shown below.... Thinking of summer on snow days2/9/2013 Carole RobitailleCAROLER'S ART DIARY Categories
