panel 78

This panel has very little shape or lines in it, as long as I paint the whole board with a constant hue of warm colors, I should be able to paint anything.
A person smelling flowers always comes up as a theme for me. This is a painting I did years ago as part of the land of Nod story. Not just smelling one flower but shoving your whole face into the earth.

This painting was for a children's book "bellwethers message"
The final painting! She looks more like she is going to eat the flowers, oh well... With this kind of board you need to be careful of the light on the face, keeping the value between the strongest light and the darkest brown no more then the 80/20% rule ( meaning 80% of the board is covered with 20% variation.)

panel 26

Back in the good old days of Fleuri Perron, the sturgeon river was like the French Riviera with large picnics and strolls, there where swimming clubs and boating/canoe clubs, tug-a-war contests. Everyone dress there Sunday best.
This painting is dedicated to Dr. Giroux's wife, the charming Alice Giroux, she was the closest person to a high society woman and was responsible for hosting many out door functions.





panel 97

I love animation and wish I had more time to do it, so to kill the craving, here, I imagine a St.Albert character that works at the Enjoy Center. She is trying to fullfill Jim Holes life long dream of being a "Carrot Baron."

Frankie is one of the newest artist to join in on the project, I know the boards are quit intimating but she has truly captured a wonderful spirit for the city of St. Albert in this board.
