Two New Paintings

It's going to be a busy upcoming few weeks as I've got to get at least five larger paintings done. Time to buckle down! I've got two new ones here to show, "Laundry Whites Day" has been sold and "Early Jasper Autumn" is still available.

Summer's coming to an end-I hope everyone had at least SOME rest and relaxation during the hot months!! See you in September!

Good Day All! I just finished this new oil painting, "Picnic in the Park" yesterday. If you'd like to see the description of this piece, please go to my "Art 4Sale" page shown at the top. Cheers! Tracy Root

Yeah! POSTAL STRIKE IS OVER!!!

Thank Goodness the postal strike is OVER here in Canada and the workers have been legislated back. My small business like SO many others has been really hurt by their actions. I have no time right now during this recession for unions and their ridiculously piddly complaints when there are so many canadians just struggling to survive.

I've got 4 new 8x10" landscapes just completed over the last few days.
If you'd like to see details, please go to my Art 4Sale page. Thank you!!

New Painting Just Completed.....

I've finally finished this large landscape I've been working on the past week or so. It's called "Clouds Over Alberta Rockies" and is 39" wide x 31" high......

So much to do!! Where to begin!!! I've just finished this 16" x 12" painting, "The Ice Cream Truck" and I have a large canvas that I really want to dig into and start. I've got to take a time management course I think!!

A Busy Painting Week! I've been working on my figurative studies and just completed this 12 x 16 oil....."The Differences are Few"...my goal is to have enough QUALITY work to send out to apply for membership in the Ontario Artist's Society in September.

My latest painting just completed....."Early Spring"

(The bush I bring our dog to is covered in dead branches and fallen trees-creating a fascinating landscape in which to create this piece.

After taking numerous photos of the trees I settled upon this backdrop in which to put my bear, newly awoken from his winter slumber, surveying the world around him.....)

"The Bridge"
Medium: Oil on Stretched Canvas
Size: 36" Wide x 24" High
Price: $500

Story behind this painting: I had come across a documentary online called "The Bridge". It was about the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge and the problems they have with "jumpers". The documentary really affected me and this painting is a combination of my feelings about that documentary combined with a tale told in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" about a man who went to the top of a mountain to make a wish. If he jumped off, his wish would come true.

And so he wished, then jumped off and he floated away, never to be seen again. And....his wish for his family came true. So this piece is a combination of my thoughts on both of those movies which, in their own ways, affected me immensely.

NEW ART AVAILABLE!

NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!

Yes, it happened. My equusarts email address was hacked into and everyone on my contact list started receiving weird emails from someone in China.

My new address is:
rootstudio@hotmail.ca

I was meaning to change it to Root Studio anyhow so I suppose forcing this procrastinator was a good thing and my sincerest apologies to those clients who have received the emails-hopefully they will have stopped by now.
