I'm pretty sure I have a problem: I'm addicted to gardening. Since the weather has started getting nice I can't seem to stay indoors, and when I'm outdoors I still want to be productive and putter around, so I've been landscaping the heck out of my yard! It will give me some fodder for subject matter over the summer though.
These two nasturtium watercolours (they're both 22"x30") I did this month for a commission for a couple in NB - and I had to do them from photos because it's too early for nasturtiums! I always prefer to work from life if I can, but it's not always possible because winter.

Anyhow, Spring is sprung & it's brought all this great energy with it. I'm working on a few short film/tv shoots here & there, and now that my grant applications are completed & delivered, I'm back in the studio to make some new work - that is when I can talk myself into being indoors!
And inspiration abounds - check out this amazing
papercut artwork, the indescribable beauty of colour in
this work, and this giant gorgeous mural called
moonshine by
Etam Cru:
