Water Colour and Oil PaintingsWhen not designing and embroidering Fine Threads Clothing, Alison explores with her paints, bothwatercolor and oils. Painting since a young age, Alison studied fine art while at the Ontario College of Art, and has participated in many painting seminars and workshops during her career. Most recently she has taken up oil painting and is enjoying exploring with this expressive medium. Inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her, Alison's work reflects her connection to the natural world and her love for the outdoors. She is most happy when painting en plein aire - breathing in the emotion of a grand landscape, or the details of a particular flower, and working to capture that elusive moment before her. Alison held her 4th exhibition of painted works in Nelson's 2008 Artwalk. Some of her current pieces can be viewed below. Prices as listed do not include frames.
