A Better Life illustrations This is a small painting

This is a small painting in acrylics on stretched canvas

colours and text to find balance in a composition

This started with the shape of a figure nearly in silhouette

The timeless combination of blue seating and red tables create a nostalgic cinematic aesthetic

A Better Life illustrations This is a small paintingFrom the award winning Les Deux Villages collection, 'A Better Life' was created using pieces of two special places that I have called home Paris, France and Wortley Village in London, Ontario, Canada. There are multiple photographic elements as well as watercolour textures. The three Victorian cottages, 'A Better Life', 'Beyond the Gate', and 'Along the Way', actually sit beside each other on Bruce Street, one of my favourite streets in the village.
