Title: Evening Golf Squirrel | Medium: Acrylic and Oil (water based) on board | Size: 9 X 11 | Artist: Carollyne Yardley
I finished this 9 X 11 tonight. It went from blue sky to evening sky - to blue sky to evening. Finally, the stars and the moon prevailed. Evening golf. I will post an animation next week of all the various skylines this little painting went through. Many layers. I think it fits the season. Lots of colour and twinkling lights.
Size: 48″ X 36″
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Date: 2009
Artist: Carollyne Yardley
I finally finished this painting last weekend. I started it in November 2008 as an abstract painting. It then morphed into a second abstract painting. And while I enjoy the works of other artists who create abstract paintings, it’s not currently happening, of my hand, at the end of my brush.
After my second attempt at the “genre of abstract”, I sat back a moment and whilst staring into the shapes and figures, I started to see eyeballs emerge. I jumped back into the paint and let my brush follow the natural contours. I felt a great sense of gratification when these wee beasties emerged. I hope you enjoy. (110)
I will revisit this painting next month as it becomes the first progression of a diptych. I intend to continue the scene to the right. Can you see the green dragon’s body?
I’ve also started the first painting from the Jen Steele photo shoot, and hope to have it finished by next month.

She’s finally done, the painting is finished, and yet she is still unnamed. Maybe I should call her, ‘”Ol what’s her name”.

I’ve seen her in person three times. Twice in Victoria, British Columbia, and once in London, England, as she was leaving Buck House with Prince Philip in their chauffered towncar. It was the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, and they were all heading over to the Guards Chapel on August 31, 2007. It’s true, she has to be seen to be believed. Unfortunately, even with steady-handed preparation of the camera - she sped past me at lighting speed.
