Mini Donut Service

Art Sales, The Story Behind the Painting, What's the Big Idea?

Mini Donut Service, 11" x 14" o/c, 825 CAD Wouldn't we all like a mini donut service? I started this painting at the Calgary Stampede last summer during my engagement painting live and meeting the public in the Western Oasis. Of course, the way I work these days I knew there was no way I would be completing it in that 2 hour session, especially since I did more talking than painting. Which is as it should be, plenty of time to paint back in the studio. Or so I thought. Turns out that painting larger than life triptychs exploring the life cycle of diet culture can definitely take over your life and studio. So January of 2024 finally saw the completion of this lovely little painting of the famous…

Working with Momentum

Art Sales, Events & Announcements, The Story Behind the Painting, What's the Big Idea?

After The Rain, 42" x 42" Acrylic on Canvas, $4450Debbie.lee Miszaniec I was pleased to be able to deliver a custom reproduction of my 2005 painting, After The Rain, to the Momentum offices earlier this fall. They purchased the print for their new offices in the Radisson Heights area of Calgary. This painting in particular was of interest to their staff as the painting depicts an actual place in Penbrooke Meadows, one of the communities near their offices, and a community I was a resident of for 11 years. It depicts the first sunny day after a solid couple weeks of rain, when everything, even abandoned furniture, expired holiday lights and neglected lawns, appear fresh and beautiful as the sun lends it all sparkle. I have a good history with…
