Catalogue of Landscapes and Skies brianmiddletonart.ca

I am fascinated by the formation of clouds and the wonderful complexity of the sky. Most of my work in this area is done on canvas with oils.

Catalogue of Life drawings, portraits & Still-lifes brianmiddletonart.ca

I began life-drawiing again in the fall of 2006. I attend a weekly four hour session with a small group of local artists at The Old School House Arts Centre in Qualicum Beach each Friday morning. For the past year or so I have been studying the classical drawings of Watteau and Ingres as well as contemporaries like Robert Liberace in the USA. I particularly like using a coloured ground paper with graphite and white pencil. The quality of the materials I use has always been a priority for me.

Catalogue of Photography brianmiddletonart.ca

Photography is a very new medium for me. I only began to use the camera a few years ago when I bought my first little point n' shoot Olympus in 2005. Last year I bought a beautiful SLR with telephoto lens. The camera has now become my new sketchbook and I take it along almost everywhere I go!

I had asked her which flower she might like as a painting for her birthday and she said " pansies "...so I bought a flat of pansies from the nursery and these were the result. PS She liked them ! .....and they have sold as prints over and over again since then...." briandmiddleton

	"I did this sketch based on an earlier watercolour I completed in Ontario before our move to BC in 2006. I had wanted to record our garden so we could take it with us to Vancouver Island. This time I wanted to try using the new techniques I have been practising in Life Drawing to landscape and see what would happen. The drawing became a Xmas gift for Carl this year." briandmiddleton
