About Me

My photo
Welcome to Red Boots Artworks. This is a place where I can display and share my artwork. I am continually learning and evolving and welcome your comments. My artwork is somewhat eclectic as I paint/draw what inspires me in the moment. I love color so I incorporate a lot of color into my paintings. I want people to smile when they see my art. I particularly enjoy doing portraits and welcome commissions. If interested, I can be contacted through email at hmlloyd1@gmail.com

Who better to celebrate than Us!!!    For many, its been a year of sadness, disappointment, loss, loneliness and separation.  But the light is starting to appear at the end of the tunnel.  We can see hope and happiness in our future again.  So lets toast to 'Us".   Lets toast to the future!!

Templeton

Templeton
9" x 12"
Canvas Board

SOLD


Templeton was definitely outside of my comfort zone.  Not only had I never attempted to paint an animal before, it is a departure from my usual 'style'.... whatever that might be.    Im so glad I was asked to do this, as it has given me the confidence to try other new projects I might otherwise never have attempted.

Cocktails at 6.  Such a civilized ritual.  Wouldn't it be lovely if we could put our hectic lives on pause, put on our fancy hats and sip a fancy drink with good friends every day!

Shades of Bucerias


Shades of Bucerias
8 x 10
Acrylic on Canvas Board

Our daily ritual while staying in Bucerias, Mexico was to spend time on the beach each day, soaking in the sun and beautiful scenery, watching the wind surfers and taking long walks looking for sea glass.

Muskoka Freedom

Muskoka Freedom
Acrylic on Canvas
8 x 10


Summer in the Muskokas, spending time at the cottage.  The anticipation while driving north.  Arriving and breathing in the sweet summer air filled with the scent of pine and cedar, hearing the sounds of boats in the distance and feeling the excitement of that first run into the lake.  Nothing else matters.  Its Muskoka Freedom

Girlfriends

Girlfriends
Acrylic on Canvas Board

Girlfriends.  They are our confidants, our therapists, our critics and our strongest supporters.  They are our sisters and the a shoulder to lay our head when we need it the most.  They are someone to laugh with and cry with... without judgement.   They are our coffee times and our wine times.  Thank goodness for Girlfriends.
