Lauren's Memory Box

This is a special painting of a Memory Box. I've made it specially for my Cousin, Lauren. The recent why I've made her this painting, I know something special about her. She use to go to Disneyland for the first time, and she had a picture taken with Winnie the Pooh and his good friend Rabbit! I remembered the time when she was learning how to play the saxophone. That was when we went to Auntie Dor's Birthday Party. This time Lauren has a job at Steveston. The first place in Steveston where she works, It was at Steveston Sweet Shoppe, the Candy Store. Lauren use to work at the Candy Store, but not anymore. So she found another job. She's now working at Prickly Pear, the Steveston Garden Centre.

Craig Rudder's Mom


On that day, I've made a painting of White Rock for Craig Rudder. And now I've made another painting; It's for his Mom. You know what? Craig Rudder loves spending time with his Mom when he has his family over to his house; Even though I've bumped into her along the way when I was working at Exclusive Floors.

Orca Whales

That's a beautiful painting I've painted for Connie, the Cleaner Lady. Connie really likes it when I made paintings about whales. She thinks I'm very talented. I was a speed Artist. Connie likes seeing whales, she wants to find out more about them. So that's why I made her a painting of Orca Whales.

Graduating from North Surrey

This is the bit when I drew three pictures of my Friends Graduating from Highschool. I did that right after I Graduated from North Surrey.

The first picture is for Ryan.
The next picture is for Nicole.
And the third is for Natalia.
This is what happened when I bumped into some of my Friends from school along the way. It was the time since I saw them when I was visiting the weight room at the Cloverdale Rec Centre; I saw Chelsea with my Friends school: like Ryan, Nicole, and Natalia.

Kendra and James

And now, Here a beautiful painting I've made for Samantha's Friends. A few years ago, I've made this painting for Samantha so she can give it to her friends, Kendra and James; because they're about to get married.

The Iron Maidens


Ah, thank goodness. These are the two pictures that I made for my Mom. She's on a Dragon Boat team called the Iron Maidens. One is a painting of the team logo and the other is a drawing of my Mom on the dragon boat. The boats have a big dragon head on the front. It's the Race Competition where everyone races to the finish line. Dragon boat Paddlers have to paddle to the beat of the drummer and paddle as fast as they can to win. And that is why I have made the painting and the drawing for my Mom to show her team. If I was there to help cheer on her team, I'm sure they'll win first place for good.

Winery Store

This is the painting I've gave to the Winery where we bottle our wine. It shows the different flavors of wine we can make. I like to help with all the jobs; the first things we do is clean the bottles, then we use the machines to fill the bottles with wine, and last we add the corks and stick on a label. When they are done, just put the bottles into the boxes.

White Rock Beach


This is a nice special painting of White Rock I've painted for Craig Rudder. I've added Rudder and his family playing at the Beach with a train pasting by.

Look at these three parts of the painting; I've painted the background first, then I added the train, and I finished it by added the people.


Bailey's Big Birthday Party


This heart shaped painting is called Bailey's Big Tie-Dye Birthday Party! Everyone's invited to my little niece's birthday party. This is a painting of our whole family at her party, we all are wearing tie-dye shirts. My niece really likes hearts, pink and purple, tie-dye, and Unicorns. So that's why I made her a special unicorn with wings. I made this painting like she was having a party with everyone's favorite purple dinosaur, it's from Kideo's "My party with Barney". It's an older Barney video that makes your child the star of the episode.

Kaiden


Here's a new painting and it looks just like my little nephew, this is Kaiden! I painted this picture of him for his 8th birthday. I went to Semiahmoo art class and I painted it to look exactly the same as the photo on my phone. My Dad and my sister helped me a little to choose which photo to use.

Elizabeth

This picture was for Elizabeth, It has a bunch of fun things we did together. We used to do Musical Theater when I was at Semiahmoo and during the lockdown we did lots of things on Zoom. We sang songs, played guessing games and made funny faces with all our friends just like the Honker Ducky Dinger Jamboree. The best part was doing painting classes with Elizabeth and her Mom.

Katherine


This is a picture I drew for Katherine, she used to be my teacher of Musical Theater at Semiahmoo House. She moved from here to Vancouver Island and now I join her for music on Zoom instead. She is welcome to come back any time she wants to visit, so I drew this picture to help remind her of us. 

Blue Streak Certificates

Nic Robins the artist here again with another collection of paintings I made. These are the paintings for my Blue Streak team in 2022. I missed skiing with my team during Covid but now we all stayed safe and got the skiing back again. This time, now that we are back on Grouse Mountain, I made a bunch of Blue Streak team certificates. I made each certificate with my huge collection of canvases that are all different shapes. I gave one to everyone on my team and made them all first place because me and my friends are all winners!

 

Whistler Mountain / Celebrate 10 Years in Habitat


These are the very specials painting I made for Stephanie's 10 year anniversary at Habitat for Humanity. Stephanie started working there in 2013, which was before me. I have been working at habitat since 2018. I just met Stephanie and painted these pictures for her as a Thankyou, she gifted me a trip to Whistler for helping at habitat for so many years. I got to stay in Whistler Village and it was great. I have been to Whistler in the summer but I've never been there in winter or skied on Whistler before. We explored the two mountains and checked out all the gondola's and chair lifts, they have so many!  I had a great time skiing and staying there in the winter but I think that riding the train and going there in the summer is my favorite part. Who knows, maybe some day you can go to whistler mountain and go on an adventure too!

Midnight


This is Midnight, Midnight is Tim's dog who likes to visit my Auntie Dor. He was a black lab just like Max. Unfortunately, Midnight has passed away so I made this picture for Tim so he would always remember him. Tim has a new dog now, it is a brown lab named Rusty.  

Elephants from Around the World

This is a very special painting that I made for Karen. She really likes elephants and likes to learn about them so I painted her these families of elephants. You probably know about elephants; they all have big grey bodies, four thick legs, and a really long nose called a trunk. But look closely at these two pictures of elephants from different countries. In South Africa, the elephants have pointier ears and very specials teeth called tusks. In India, the elephants have smaller ears and no tusks. They are used to celebrate and walk in parades. I know an Indian elephant named Toothbrush from the show Zoboomafoo.  

Sea Animals from Hawaii




These two paintings I painted for my Mom and Dad. These are special paintings because they are small and magnetic, we put them on the refrigerator.  My Mom, Dad and I really like seeing all the animals when we go on Vacation. We liked watching all of the sea turtles when we visited the Island of Hawaii. We also liked watching for dolphins and whales, we usually see them when we're on the cruise ships but this time we saw them in Hawaii too!

Sea Turtles and Little Bird


These are the two paintings I did by joining a video art class. The first painting I did was the picture of the sea turtles and the second time I painted a picture of a bird. I liked the turtle painting because it reminds me of the ones in Hawaii. I like to paint lots of types of birds, this little bird is sitting on the branch looking for berries. 

Memories of the Playground


This is a picture I drew of a memory from a long time ago.
 It is from when I was a little kid and I was playing with my Cousin, Beth, on the see-saw at Bear Creek Park. We were playing at the park with all my family including my Grandma, Aunt and Uncle. You can tell that in this picture everyone was younger. It was so long ago that it was before Dominick was born and before I met Christie and Emma and definitely before Kaiden and Bailey were born too.   

I made a painting I made of my Grandma Sylvia, that I made to show Beth. It is from years ago when Grandma used to watch me and Beth when we were little kids.

Protect Our Earth!


This is a large circle painting of our world, The Earth! I used my imagination to think of what new and exciting paintings I could paint on a big circle canvas. I decided that the Earth would be perfect! I want to share my paintings with boys and girls all over the world and make sure we help protect the Earth like by recycling. 

I bet you can think of a lot more of ways to help protect the Earth too!

Humming Birds



Terrific! Here is a picture of a humming bird and a poem. 

I like to paint humming birds to make people feel better when they feel sad. 

Happy Halloween!

 


It was Halloween at Semiahmoo. I made this picture for my friend Ivy. She doesn't like Halloween so I made a nice picture to help her feel better. She is a bit afraid of the dark, so I showed her when the lights are on its just us - her friends from Semiahmoo. The picture has Me and Ivy with all our friends visiting the Count in his Spooky Castle.

Nic's Favourite Video Games!


These are my four favourite video game systems. My favourite systems are Nintendo 64, Playstation, Nintendo Game Cube, and Wii U and Wii. There are four paintings, and those four canvas' I painted them on are so small. I painted these small canvas's so fast, the GameCube took me 2 days to paint and the other 3 canvas's took me only 1 day. 

Campfire Beach Party


I made this painting for Christie's birthday. She loves campfires and being at the beach, so I made a painting of a Campfire Beach Party. This beach is in Oregon at Lincoln City, I added all of my family with Christie and her parents enjoying the beach and the campfire.

This painting it is kind of like a painting I made for my mom. I made mom a picture of a sunny beach at Whidbey Island. So First, I made a beach during the daytime and now I made the beach at night. Here are the two Beach pictures together. 

Hip Hop and Paddleboarding


This painting is for Michelle's daughter, April. I know something special about her, she loves paddle boarding and hip hop dance. I made it for April when she moved to Kelowna to go to school and become a teacher.  

Dogs


These are two painting of Maggie and Zeke, they are Michelle's dogs. I made these for Michelle so that she can always have her dogs memories close.  
 

Stuart Little


This is a painting of the two live action movies of Stuart Little.  I made this painting for Tiffany because she loves to watch Stuart Little and so do I!

In the first movie, Stuart meets the Little's family and their cat Snowbell. In the movie he gets his own car to drive and he helps his brother George win the Central Park boat race by steering his model ship called the WASP. You know, he's not just a mouse he's also a member of the family. In the Second movie he meets a little yellow bird named Margalo and learns how to fly a model airplane to help her get away from Falcon. 

If you haven't seen these movies you should check them out!

Bunny Rabbit \ Computers and Trains



See these two paintings, I made them for Tiffany's daughter and son. The first painting is for her daughter because she loves bunny rabbits and used to have one for a pet. The other painting is for her son, it shows that he really likes playing on the computer and he also likes trains too!
