‘Memories to Keep’ 36″ w x 24″ h
Original oil on gallery wrapped canvas
by Cheryl Peddie
(The perspective is a little off, so had to leave a bit of the wall behind my easel in!) Had a tough time naming this one. This piece is of a desk in my parents’ home. The little zippered case to the left of the lamp is actually my Dad’s old grooming bag. Dad passed away last fall, but he left us many treasured memories of his life and love for us all.
‘Stone Ground’ – 20″x20″ Oil painting
on Galleria wrapped canvas
by Cheryl Peddie
I was a little stumped for a name for this one until I realized ‘Stone Ground’ would be perfect. I caught this image while we were watching the final game of the 2012 Tim Horton’s Brier at our friends, Karen & Andrew’s home. For those of you not of the curling ‘bent’, the Brier is a Canada’s annual national mens curling championship. We’d brought the guacamole & hummus, Karen & Andrew supplied the corn chips and other yummy snacks. Thus the name… ‘stone’ ground corn chips? Curling ‘stones’? Get it? Yes. I know. I think my Shih Tzus rolled their eyes at me a little when I tried to explain it to them, too.
‘Use the Good China!’ 20″x20″
Original oil painting on gallery-wrapped canvas
by Cheryl Peddie
This is the final version of the canvas I’d started the other day – some of my Uncle Ed’s china collection. A lot of my recent pieces have been vivid in color. For this canvas I thought I’d tone it down a bit, let the softer colors shine. While I was painting it I couldn’t help remembering the old saying about ‘not leaving your good china just for company’.
This painting is still in process on my easel. It’s a softer, quieter piece than some of the recent work I’ve done. Caught this image in my Uncle Ed’s kitchen. Ed collects a variety of antiques; this is just a few pieces of his impressive china collection. The decoration on the sides of the cups that I’ve just roughed in, are pictures of Bachelor Buttons. They’re one of my favorite wildflowers and remind me of him (he’s a bachelor himself).
