I’m obsessed with interiors right now. I don’t know where this subject is going but continue to follow my impulses and make sketches of any space that strikes my fancy. Quite – QUITE – often I invent a portion of the space, or the entire thing.
… and yes, that is a puzzle I am working on in the upper right corner of the photograph 🙂
I have been drawing a colouring/activity book on the theme of knitting.
There are many people who come to our local yarn shop for “knit night” every Friday and among them, many children. Although these kids at one time or another have been known to hunch together on the floor and crochet faster than your grandmother, sometimes I think they might like to do a little colouring. At least I did when I was a kid. A lot.
So I’m taking some copies of the six drawings I have completed so far to tonight’s meeting and we’ll see if I can get some of the small humans interested in colouring them. If I succeed I’ll post pictures of them soon!
This is not our shop but a space I visit in my head at the end of the day when I’m actually in the corner of my living room… you can join me if you wish!
It’s about time I share with you some pictures of a series of interior murals I did for a retail on-premise wine shop Splendid Grapes in Sackville, New Brunswick. They run a truly great shop, are wonderful people – and I made wonderful batches of wine with them to cater an art exhibit reception!
Murals are such a great way to bring a space to life with your personal inspiration. If you’re interested in an interior mural for your business or children’s room please contact me through my website so we can discuss the idea! As a business owner you’d be supporting the arts and reflecting your values to customers. As a parent you’d be providing your child with an imaginative vibrant space in which to play and grow up. Our surroundings are more important than we realize and murals are an really fun, special way to brighten up your life. I can work with any theme and bring my own ideas to the table – or rather, to the wall 😉

In my move I stumbled upon an old drawing of one of my previous apartments. This is a view from the big living room window at the sunroom where I spent most of my time.
I’m saying goodbye to my little apartment and studio in my own way before moving at the end of the month.
Still working on the piece with the bear and the bed. Possible title: Laundry Bear. Here is another progress shot:
I’ve also completed the painting I recently made a post about (with the lawn chairs entitled Camper) and wanted to show you another piece of it, a lovely bear on a blue truck:
