Tiny works of art ✨ Creating little ornaments are my absolute favourite and I look forward to making them every year. Despite a slight price increase , I am thrilled and humbled they sold out so quickly. A big thank you to everyone who picked one out! I was a bit nervous this year with the price increase, but I felt justified as I spent a lot more time on each one, flushing out the colour palette and composition. I also found new methods of priming and finishing that will help protect the ornaments over time and prevent cracking. But most importantly, my skill at painting at this scale has improved year after year and I feel these littles were near flawless. All that to say, thanks for loving them as much as I do and supporting my artwork. I’m already excited for 2024’s batch! 🩵 ••• #lakelouise #banff #twojacklake #mountrundle #assiniboine #threesisters #watertonlakesnationalpark #kananaskis #jasper #rockymountains #banffart #jasperart #canadianart #ornaments #holidaydecor #calgary #alberta #originalart #creative #painting #minimalism #colourful #canadiandesigner #parkscanada #modernart #artanddesign #yyclcl

I haven’t painted in over a month (art show, kids, administration), and today, I got in the sunlit studio for a painting session. It filled my soul. 😌 For those of you asking about the progress on my newest sequins painting, here is where it’s at. #brittneytoughart #brittneytoughartist #fabricart #fabriccolors #watercolorartist #watercolourartist #watercolourdesign #canadianartist #yycartist #yycLCL #watercolourpainting #watercolorpainting #artcollector #smallbizyyc #shoplocalyyc #supportlocalyyc #yycinteriordesign #yycartshows #yycartscene #artyyc #calgaryliving #calgaryevents #yycevents #yycartshows #calgaryhomes #calgaryarts #calgaryartist #calgarybuzz #artincalgary #calgarysmallbusiness
