The painting was later completed in my studio where reference photos were relied on to add the beaver. 15"hx12"w (38cm.h x 31cm.w)

00243 "Happy Hips Roses" is an oil painting done plein air at L'Etete Pt., near the ferry to Deer Island, New Brunswick, Canada. The wild roses thrive in the cool moist sea air.

I also demonstrated painting the shapes with no pre-drawing on the canvas. 15”h x 13”w (38cm.h x 33cm.w)
