Elsie Perrin Williams Art Show and Sale

This Friday I'll be packing up the car and heading to London for a 2-day Arts & Crafts Sale.

I'm bringing along small format original art and giclee prints, plus pinback buttons and bookmarks!

So if you're in the London, Ontario area this weekend - see you soon!

Lovebirds

This week I'll be teaching a fun watercolour workshop.


With a limited palette of New Gamboge, Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine Turquoise we'll harness the power of water and blending.


The subject:  Lovebirds.  I used a stock photo for reference, as I didn't have any Lovebirds hanging around ready and willing to pose for me. 


Technique: mostly wet-in-wet with a little bit of dry-brushing at the end for detail.


We will be turning these into Valentine's Day cards, but of course they could just as easily be framed or used as any kind of greeting card.

The wait is over!

You've been so patient!

I cannot believe how fortunate I've been in the last year. 

After taking the plunge (and the water was deep!) and opening my very own 

art gallery and espresso cafe last year, I took a sabbatical from portrait painting.

I've received so many emails, asking when I might be able to start painting again. 

I'm happy to announce that the wait is over (almost) - this summer I will be working away at the wait list and accepting new commissions.

and of course, if you find yourself in Chatham, stop in and see me at DeKoKo's!

I look forward to hearing from you!
