“Sunset thru wildfire smoke” by Kjersti

Summer 2023 - Canadian forests burn - affecting lives, environment and climate thousands of miles away. The visual affect is eerie, dangerous looking and captivatingly beautiful.

Available in our Etsy shop! New painting by Kjersti

Inspired by a photo send from a friend as she was walking home one evening, summer is a great time for clouds. So big, so puffy!

Art happens in lots of places - sometimes it’s in the studio, on there street, with friends. And a few nights ago it was by the river in the sand as we made a zen garden. Summer is swell!

Patrick is using a previous work “Flower Explosion” as inspiration for paintings this week. Been lots of great blues, purples coppers and golds gracing the painting stand.

The first image is the work from last night, the second image is the inspiration piece “flower explosion”

We all make mistakes - and in the grand scheme a lot aren’t a big deal. Here’s my recent not big deal - photographed this painting upside down!

“Moon fall” is meant for blue section to be at bottom 🤣🤪 oh well.

Next good sunny air clear air day (means clear light) it’ll get its chance in front of the camera again.

Patrick has been finger painting most evenings - and it’s wonderful watching the play of colors and combos that come out!

Color play is very therapeutic - no pressure that the creation come out a certain way. He says he has an idea for colors or shapes or angles to try together - and then sees what happens. It’s an adventure in color!

Our table in our studio corner has slowly transformed from an old dining table with paints everywhere, to a beautiful mess that is organized! I love looking at our paint tubes in the trays. All lined up in chromatic order (like the manufacturers list them) with any metallics, iridescent or mixing white in a separate spot.

Love love love paint and colors and organizing!

(Now to label all the tubes with a viscosity rating, as Patrick wants to know that at a glance 😂)

Love seeing paintings of clouds! Great highlights - reminds me of walking around my own neighborhood looking up at the clouds and seeing power lines underneath among trees.

We make our own digital scans of artworks to sell on society 6 - and up until now the scanner has handled our 8 x 8 in canvases beautifully. But the current 11 x 14 in canvas does not fit. Which means scanning in two parts and then combining the two images - which are like over 18,000 pixels wide.

So made the scans - and now trying to find a program (that isn’t photoshop cause I don’t want to pay adobe creative cloud prices) to combine these two. Sigh. If you have any recommendations - would love help.

A friend has been sending me photos of clouds and it is just delightful! Love love love!

Didn’t do much for the shop over the holiday weekend (US/Canada) but did see some lovely clouds. I count that as super productive.

Painted a sunset sky to represent the Air Quality Alerts that have been issued throughout this summer - and to exorcise some emotions and thoughts

Summer 2023 - Canadian forests burn affecting lives, environment and climate thousands of miles away. The visual affect is eerie, dangerous looking and captivatingly beautiful. Recently there was the awful impact on New York and their orange skies for a week in June, or a few years ago Californian skies were orange. Whole of the US west coast, east coast, Midwest and Canada are being affected. Climate change is occurring and right now it makes me sad.

Testing the composition for another collab! The Mars rover Pathfinder landing in the giant bubbles!

Patrick painted the background and at first we discussed painting a tree - but after doing the Oppy painting - the bouncing Pathfinder balls were just too perfect!

We’ve both been sick with summer colds - but had just enough energy one night to take both humans and the doggo to our favorite sunset viewing spot for some enrichment. It was glorious!

Streaks Series - by Patrick

He’s been doing tons of research and reading technical details of pigments to determine what qualities contribute to satisfying color play. Some paint manufacturers provide information on tint strength, viscosity, opacity, and luminosity in technical terms — it’s definitely providing insight into new colors that can be used for these fun colorwork pieces!
