“Hunters’ Preparations” Oil on canvas, 24”x32”.
My largest painting yet, completed over the course of the last year. Depicting a drink to calm the nerves the night before a moose hunt. 🫎 🍻 🍷

Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Duke knows how special he was. To say we miss our best friend is an understatement, but this is how we will remember him: On the front of the boat with his ears flapping in the wind. Love you buddy, this painting is for you ❤️

Excited to finally share this painting in the mornings’ first light!

Kept this one a secret for a while as it was submitted for a contest, it wasn’t successful but I’m still really proud of this one 🥰

A successful first moose🫎 hunt for our friends P&J! It wasn’t an easy hunt but it was a rewarding and fun one for sure!

Fell in love with a beautiful part of the interior of the island. Harpoon Hill & Haven Steady area⛰️🌲🌊

We went to watch what we thought were whales that we saw across the harbour, and we found a dolphin beached and stuck in the rocks/trees.

We helped him get unstuck but he seemed almost unconscious and couldn’t keep above water and was struggling to breath. We helped him back into the shallows where he struggled and rested for a while, his fins were bloody from the rocks and he seemed exhausted. When we pet him he seemed to calmed down.

Eventually he got enough energy that he was able to swim again, starting slow in the shallows. Happy to report he has been swimming around the harbour and reunited with his dolphin friend.

Haven’t shared much painting lately, so here are a few I’ve been working on the last while!
🎨👩🏻‍🎨
Some finished, some quick practice paintings, a few comedian portraits, and a few Lipking studies!

I know it’s just a postcard… but it’s the first print I’ve ever made of my artwork! The amount of joy embracing art this year has brought me- it really can’t be described! 🥰
•
About the “Phillips Head”, 4x6 postcard: This little map promotes a beautiful town I have fallen in love with. Only a 15min drive from Botwood, take a walk through the WW2 Gun Battery, enjoy the public beach and wharf 🌊, and top it off with a feed at “Denny & Charlee’s Food Trailer” & @whats_the_scoop7🍦!
