I Carry my Dad

Oil
24" X 25.5" framed
Price: $650

I loved the words “I carry” as it’s you, it’s me, and there is this feeling of holding something precious. And we all have a dad, who in our hearts, we carry.

I Carry my Daughter

Oil
30" X 24.5" framed
Price: $750

I knew that I was going to do a mother holding her daughter. This tenderness that the mother feels is exactly the same love we feel for our own child.

Family I

Acrylic, framed in black walnut
34" X 32" framed
Price: $1650

This tiny 2”x2” image does not do this piece justice. I love the contrast of the red in the walnut wood frame with the yellow of the eagle-owl mother, and her very vibrant orange eyes. Having the 2 owlets who are furthest away in cool purples contrasted well with the warm background colour.

I Carry My Son

Oil
48" X 36" framed
work in progress

This is the last painting in the
"I CARRY" series, and has been a hard one. Some paintings require so much more of me/from me. I wanted to set the background of a Toronto street scene with the downtown mural “This is Paradise” (done the year the Raptors won). It’s actually two murals, one with the words right side up, and the other upside down. When I saw that mural, I don’t know why, but inside it was a big YES. I did a lot of research on how the son would look… getting his height, his physique, his skin colour just so. The mother was a lot of inside searching, to get the right feeling.

It’s a work in progress as you are seeing the drawing transfer, and its beginnings. I will be posting the progress on Instagram and Facebook (@ladymarybugyra) over the next few weeks. I would love to hear your comments!

Family II

Acrylic, framed in black walnut
34" X 32" framed
Price: $1550

The frame of the barn-owl family is black walnut that has been brushed with tung oil to bring out the wood grain. The mother is with her three nestlings who are almost 2 months old. They are just beginning to form their feathers, but mostly look like fluffy down. Getting the texture of the fluff, along with working with a minimum of colour, moving from cool to warm for contrast was challenging.
