WHAT'S HAPPENING 

Winter is here and things are heating up in the studio! 

- New work in progress "Salish Sea, from Tsawwassen to Saturna".

On the longest night of the year - let the sky open and the sun return. Happy Winter Solstice everyone! 

"Salish Sea, from Tsawwassen to Saturna", acrylic on canvas, 18" x 72", 2024.

This painting is the result of spending time and caring for my 95 yr old dad. The composition was inspired by the view from his place in Whiterock BC looking South West towards the Gulf Islands & Vancouver Island. When there I take over his dining room and set up a makeshift studio. It's definitely different than working in my studio at Cultus Lake. So grateful to still have my dad in my life and to share my art making with him. He's an inspiration. 

When finished "Salish Sea, From Tsawwassen to Saturna" will be loaded to the West Coast Series Gallery

- Work in progress - #40 in the Sunnyside Series. This series has been a 15 year journey of giving voice to the shoreline of my home waters of Cultus lake, in all it's amazing light and shadow. When painting #1 in 2009, I never imagined painting #40 in 2024. I often wonder now - which one will be the last?

 

Work in progress, #40, Sunnyside Series, acrylic on canvas, 36" x 72".  This is the second largest painting in the series after #31.
