Versatile Artist

This is Peter when he worked for CHAT-TV;the other pic is him painting a horse on a rancher's truck.

Acrylic On Cedar

This collection of four cedar plaques are just a sample of a number of plaques I did five years ago for a friend of mine. They were target at the cottage owner, a rustic type of painting. Hence the rough cedar substrate.

Snap Grackle & Pop

I thought that it was a blackbird had landed on my birdbath this morning but when I actually looked it turned out that it was a Grackle that had come for a morning drink. Different looking bird but beautiful none the less.

Survival

The Hawk with his "catch"; to be safe from predators to share...the other is a Coyote looking to catch. The two oil paintings are done by my brother, Phil.

Wildlife

The top painting is Canada's Loon, which you'll find on our one dollar coin.And the other is the majestic elephant; these oil paintings were executed by my brother, Phil.

"Little Church In The Wild Wood'

My friend Dennis and I (the fella with the '97 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM convertible ) spotted this "little church in the wild wood" on our way to Delburne.

Pink Tree

Took this picture today May 23, 2013 ; I don't know the name of this pretty tree...However, the blossoms only last three to four weeks

Cronus

Cronus is 2 years old now, he is a Rhodesian ridge back pit bull cross. He's a real goofy dog, I call him big dumb dumb because he underestimates his size and often whacks into walls with his head or tail. Cronus has his smarter times too, he's a good listener and can sit, shake a paw or high five. He's a real lovable dog and will do anything for your attention. He's always got to be where the people are and almost never leaves my side when I'm at home, hes a best friend for sure! Just over a year ago is when I met this pup. Jesse found him living in an alley thin and dirty. So, he brought Cronus home to me and I fell in love right away, I couldn't ask for a better dog.

My name is Oriana Wolfe and Rick is a friend

Delburne

My friend Dennis and I went "cruising"  to Delburne, Alberta last spring and came upon this pretty little museum there. So I just had to take a picture of it, this is quaint small community and just a few miles from Red Deer,Ab.

Self Portrait

Oh ya that's me, Rick Soehn back in the days...did a 'stint' in the navy in hopes of starting an Art career , always wanted to put signage on ships,planes, whatever.However that did not work out; the portrait on the left was done with different grades of pencils.By the way that Naval Base HMCS Cornwallis was unified February 1968 of the RCN Royal Canadian Air Force and Canadian Army to form  the Canadian Forces, CFB Cornwallis.

Pink Sky

Captured these early morning sunrise cloud formations just this morning at 6:a.m.....some more of Alberta beautiful sky.

Art Design

Art design was part of one of my courses, which by the way I thoroughly enjoyed .The abstract is water color as well as the signage;this was hand lettered.

 Took 
these cloud formations today, May 15,2013, Red Deer sky's are constantly filled with these kinds of clouds. All one has to do is keep your eye on the sky, and your camera on the ready!

CKRD Radio and TV

 Time to dig into the archives again; and look what

I found, another van that I lettered when I was in their employment. Definitely enjoyed working in television! It's good to know "old school" so one can appreciate all of the new technology that is out there.

Canada Goose

                                                                         We love our Canada Goose, enjoying this bird all over Canada and then some. These are a series of water colours.

70's Fashions

Here you have Artwork from one of my courses; an elective in fashion design. Bach in the 70's hats were the "in thing", which I thought were very stylish, and feminine looking. I loved them!

Alberta Sky

 We are blessed with the most beautiful evening sky.This of course is in Red Deer, Alberta. It makes up for the prolonged winter we had this year,2013.My camera is always on the ready....

The three formations were taken the same evening.

I t just doesn't get any better than this.........

Discrimination

                                                         You know me digging into the archives again,and  I came up with this painting on Discrimination.A catholic priest commissioned me to do this for his office.Needless to say, he was very pleased with it, and a pleasure doing it for him. 

Drift-wood Carving

        This drift-wood carving was done by my brother Peter, who at the time was employed with CHAT-TV in Medicine Hat, Alberta.It was an ideal piece of wood shaped for this project.

Learning Towers

                                These are for children to work with mom at the counter top level, and they are sturdy  and most importantly SAFE! Of course my brother August of Medicine Hat, Alberta built these beautiful pieces of furniture using his recently acquired band saw . Also, they are totally adjustable, depending on the height of the child.

Just A Snack

"Later" this evening May 3,2013 ...My resident rabbit showed up for an evening snack. O f course he is eating the bird seed that the sparrows kick to the lawn below. I believe it was about 7:30 p.m.

Ominous Clouds

I saw these ominous looking clouds in the eastern sky from my kitchen window. It was around 7:30 p.m., however, nothing materialized from it.They slowly dissipated and, and no rain that evening! I thought it was a nice picture to share with you.
