Painting Quirky Colour Lines

Quirky Colour Lines

Sometimes Jade likes to make different brush marks all over the page.

I love this approach — especially when she uses different colours.

It’s always interesting to photograph different sections. Below are some examples:

Jade liked the cute, geeky doodle … but she wouldn’t kiss him.

That’s Me … Daddy !!!

Thats Me ... Daddy !!!

I’ve always been described as hyper, dynamic, and extremely good looking…;P

A fun day creating with Jade.

We cut some great old printed material and added doodle lines.

I’m always a sucker for stamps and cancellation artwork.

Jade always makes my smile, makes me laugh.

Spirits Of The Forests

Emily Carr Style Drawing

In British Columbia, there are amazing First Nation’s Totem Poles.

Jade loves looking at the figures and imagining their connections.

I created an Emily Carr inspired image for Jade (above).

The Anthropology Museum in Vancouver hosts many amazing artworks (below).

An old image my wife drew for Jade.

Jade’s mom absolutely loves dogs.

Every time we’re walking, she stops and chats with dog owners.

Maybe in a couple years, we’ll get one.

For my 300th post, I couldn’t think of a better tribute and quote for my beautiful wife.

Thank you for being an amazing woman. Thank you for being so easy to love.

Thank you for our daughter Jade.

Your Little Heart

Your Little Heart

I promise to always be gentle with your little shining heart.

Happy Valentine’s Day Jade.

Love Daddy

The past while, I’ve been going through Jade’s old drawings.

This was her first image with trees.

It was a favourite during the summer.
