Market Fresh Pretty close to complete. Scrutinizing for a day or two before I call it #heritagetomatoes #oilpainting #healthyfood #shideler #wip #ontheeasel #lovewhatido #tomato

Day 9 Front and Center And yes, I am a day behind. Thinking I will get caught up this weekend. Really enjoying this series - fun and strong. The wet paint captures more light than there is on the painting but it is close. #oilpainting #blackbird #corvids #30paintingsin30days #artistsofinstagram #shideler

Day 17 Crusty Crustacean No shortage of inspiration from the sea. Happy to be more than halfway through the challenge, my larger work on my shiny new easel is starting to call out to me. #oilpainting #30paintingsin30days #crustacean #crabpainting #artistsoninstagram #shideler #somuchfun

Shorebirds Progress update. Seven of eight shorebirds painted in without their legs. Next step is to paint the last bird and apply glazes to the water. Then onto the sand and seaweed. I am liking how they look like you could almost pick them up. #workinprogress #ontheeasel #wip #helenshideler #shideler #shorebirds https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLkI5mnY_p/?igshid=rqe73emk5e9g

In celebration of international dog day Introducing Irish, a dog my daughter rescued a number of years ago. He is pretty much a clone of a previous rescue dog we had named Sadie. Both are border collie lab mixes. The uncanny resemblance is real but the “brightness” of the doggies is quite different ❤️ #acrylicpainting #petportrait #helenshideler #shideler #rescuedog https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXuX9THXRc/?igshid=7utvmw63gt63

Lilly and Bernie Two special fur babies. I donated a painting to #redheadstrays awhile back for a fundraiser. This is the completed little painting. Through this process the winner and I realized that we knew each other as children and played together on the swings. I love karma. I love reconnecting. #furbabies🐾 #contemporarypainting #shideler #gooddeeds #petportaits #artistsoninstagram #acrylic https://www.instagram.com/p/By0yC_Nnzg7/?igshid=wl53hi3rg2er

Her Mama’s Favourite I had the opportunity to paint this sweet #africanviolet for a friend. This plant was started from a clipping off her mother’s plant. It is a prolific bloomer and brings her great joy daily. I love this story and loved being able to paint it to forever remind her of her mother! #contemporarypainting #acrylicpainting #purplefloralinspiration #shideler #bloomingcolours #artistsoninstagram #sweetmemories https://www.instagram.com/p/Bys3jkVHJuh/?igshid=s8z6yfsf4bo7

New Work in progress Thinking this is Nut Case. This fella will chase off anything that remotely close to the peanut feeder - even the blue jays. Fun to watch it play out. #contemporaryart #oiloveracrylic #canadianartist #artistsoninstagram #shideler #wip #ontheeasel #squirrel https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7OcF5A_T5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xw0cex75f22u
