Diana's Painting Journal

I haven’t yet got Pay Pal set up properly but I’m working on it. Prices of paintings are showing in U.S. funds when they should be in Canadian dollars. Shipping costs and methods need to be adjusted also.   Please feel free to email me at dianafmiskell@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Stopped in at Fraser Downs Racetrack this morning, en route to a dim sum breakfast in Richmond, to view the art show display.

Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino is located at 17755 60th Avenue, Surrey, B.C.    I’m submitting two paintings – they are almost finished and will be posted on this website once I take the final photos of them.

I am delighted to be able to post this: “In The Moo’d” won second place this weekend at the American Society of Bovine Artists 2nd Ever Art Show and Sale, held at Cactus Jack’s, Gruene, Texas. What an honor – all the members of the ASBA are incredible cattle artists.

Market sales go to benefit the New Stride Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (www.newstride.com).   It was a perfect fall day, the countryside in this area is beautiful, and we got to pet and admire two Thoroughbreds who are… read more

We had a great time at the Surrey Hospice Society’s Do You Doodle? fundraiser. I’m pleased to say two of my three doodles went to new homes and help raised funds for the hospice. My husband was the successful bidder of a Bill Vander Zalm tulip doodle. “The Zalm” was British Columbia’s Premier from 1986… read more
