A few recent pages of paintings - continuing to work on a few different avenues. #smallpaintings#organicabstraction#smallabstractpaintings#worksonpaper#montrealart Wait your turn. Painting on hardboard, 28 x 23 cm. In the making this one was a sometimes partner in a diptych with the last small painting I posted. In the end I think they remain autonomous. #smallpaintingonboard#organicabstraction#purplepainting#violetpainting#contemporarypainting DM for inquiries Purple Misty Step. Small painting on board (acrylic), 28 x 23 cm. I am enjoying working on these thick hardboard panels. The many layers of quality gesso make for great underlying texture. #hardboardpainting#organicabstraction#smallabstractpainting#purplepainting#canadianpainter A few recent small paintings on paper. 1. Together & apart 2. Behind the curtain #smallpaintings#artonpaper#organicabstraction#smallabstractpainting Purple things... A small painting on craddled hardboard (acrylic, 25 x 20 cm). Experimentations with a new palate - I've always liked purple/violet but I do not think I have ever used it in a painting before lately. #purplepainting#organicabstraction#scientificart#microscopicart#smallpaintings Blanc. Playing with different colour palates. These are from a small sketchbook. The first textured white background was done many months ago and only this week did this idea come about. #whitepaintings#sketchbookshare#artprocess#smallabstractpaintings#canadianpainting A few pages... "First Date" & "First Page" - the second slide had about 10 lives. Watercolours in sketchbook. #watercoloursketchbook#smallartworks#organicabstraction#watercolorabstract#artonpaper#smallpaintings Problem child. Painting in my small sketchbook. This one had many lives - it was a bit of a brat, it wouldn't listen to me. #bratpainting #smallpainting #organicabstraction #dailypaintings #artexplorations Ripples in the sky Dot on a heart flower Two pages from my small sketchbook. My process lately is to get purposely lost while making a painting or drawing. A wash or erasure gets rid of a plan. These surprises are what have been interesting me lately. #smallpainting #organicabstraction #artprocess #artonpaper #artsurpapier #artquebec Two small paintings on paper. The last two pages of my recent sketchbook. Things are getting darker, and more purple... #smallpaintingonpaper#paintingonpaper#purplepainting#artsurpapier#artquebec Purple palette days - two mini paintings on board. More to come... #purplepainting#organicabstraction#miniaturepainting#smallartwork#smallpainting#purpleinterior A gathering. Watercolour & gouache in a small sketchbook. #smallpainting#bluepainting#abstractpaintingonpaper#organicabstraction#artonpaper Hybrid drawing. Watercolor & digital. #hybriddrawing #organicabstraction #procreateandpaper Jumeaux violets. Ink, acrylic & gouache on paper, 24 x 20 cm. This one took many twist and turns but I think it ends here. #smallworksonpaper#organicabstraction#abstractartonpaper#canadianpainting#smallartworks Cleavage. A small sketchbook painting. Watercolour & gouache. The white is almost as cold as it is outside. #sketchbookpainting#organicabstraction#smallpaintings#paintingonpaper#artstudy a little something. Watercolour in sketchbook. Trying a new way to resist. #watercoloursketchbook#artonpaperstudy#organicabstraction#smallpainting Something in blue. Watercolour & poster paint on paper. #organicabstraction#paintingonpaper#paintingstudy#canadianpainter#bluepainting#smallartwork miniscus twins - a small painting on paper. #sketchbookpainting#abstractonpaper#organicabstraction#worksonpaper#artsurpapier Sink.
