Many of you love the large sky paintings, requesting this genre on smaller canvas to work with your budget. This 8&#215;10 is my first attempt of this style on a small canvas. It required just as much work as the large ones, and more patience. Thank you for your suggestion, and for keeping me on my toes. I am so happy with the result. It has the detail depth of light, with a nice balance of fresh brushstrokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>After the Storm<\/strong><\/em> 8&#215;10 oil on canvas  $500.oo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second has been swirling in my mind for awhile. This painting is all about gratitude, nostalgia, and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the opportunity to grow up in Provincial parks, live and explore in some of the most beautiful regions of this country,&nbsp;I wanted to pay homage both to  Canadian wilderness and vintage art prints that advertised parks and natural spaces. In order to do this, I needed a less textured feel, clean lines, less detail. Acrylic is perfect for this style of painting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subject matter is one of great love, the Canadian boreal forest, a region I wish to revisit and paint consistently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also wanted this painting to have the feel of a Canadian stamp, so I applied  the same font style, and canvas size perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living remotely growing up, long distance phone calls were outrageously expensive. We relied on handwritten letters to keep in touch with family and friends afar. It was always a delight to retrieve the mail and feel that connection with loved ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently people have returned to sending handwritten letters and cards. Humanity is craving tangible connectedness, and these help satisfy that need. Compared to electronic communication, the tactile feeling of holding a card with a handwritten message is very special. I love the idea that we are finding ways to enlighten each others lives. In physical separation, there is still a sense of unity and togetherness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also brought my attention to the possibility of creating a selection of art cards for sale.\u00a0More on this to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5368-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6767\" width=\"457\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5368-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5368-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5368-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5368-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5368-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5368.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Canada<\/em>&#8221; ( <em>Boreal Sunrise<\/em>) 9&#215;12 original acrylic on canvas $530.oo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring back to the video focus on positive emotion combined with movement, I wanted to share these little nests I created with pure delight, from wire and blue clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5376-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6773\" width=\"214\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5376-1.jpg 934w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5376-1-298x300.jpg 298w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5376-1-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5376-1-768x772.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5373-834x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6774\" width=\"216\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5373-834x1024.jpg 834w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5373-244x300.jpg 244w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5373-768x943.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5373.jpg 1182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5374-911x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6775\" width=\"219\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5374-911x1024.jpg 911w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5374-267x300.jpg 267w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5374-768x863.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5374-1367x1536.jpg 1367w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_5374.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your continued interest in the work, wishing you all health &amp; happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_6458.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6768\" width=\"225\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_6458.jpg 640w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_6458-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.dawnbanning.com\/newsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_6458-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201c<strong>Everybody can be great \u2026 because anybody can serve<\/strong>.
