'Elemental'

2011-06-07T06:23:00.000-07:00

22" x 28"

$800

This painting was inspired by the poem Elemental by Ron Evans. My favourite part.

"and this place was where

a few dared to wander

a world whose words are spoken

in a silence broken only

by the dialogue

of two souls"

This place does exist.

'Winter Light'

2011-06-07T06:19:00.000-07:00

18" x 24"

$650

What can I say. It is all about the light in winter and the patterns that are created in the snow.

'Spring Melt' Lynn Canyon, B.C.

2011-06-05T06:16:00.001-07:00

16" x 20" $450

This spot is at the bottom of the Lynn Canyon, British Columbia, upstream of the suspension bridge. I was there in 2009, the year Vancouver had lots of snow. It was surreal to walk there with all of the lush green and more than a foot of snow. There was a glow about the place.

Ravine Light

'Ravine Light' acrylic 36"x36" $1600
There is something about being in the forest just as the sun is setting. Light is thrown around in unexpected spots, and it glows. This ravine is beside our house. I am very fortunate to be able to walk 5 minutes from my door and get all the inspiration I need to paint.

'Rock Face'

2010-04-08T13:23:00.000-07:00

'Rock Face' acrylic 36"x36" $1600

Every time I do the dishes this is my view. I see faces in the rocks all around, I don't look for them, they find me. Rocks have many different colours and textures. When I look at a rock formation I see movement within the rock. These different elements provide the inspiration for me when I start to paint.

'Quiet Place' acrylic 36"x36" sold
When I came upon this place on Wren Lake I knew that I wanted to paint it. The contrast between the light on the rocks and the darkness of the forest pulled me towards it. I particularly liked to paint the space between the trees.

'Autumns Bounty' acrylic 20"x30" sold

The idea for this painting started last fall when the colours were bright. I was doing a lot of dyeing with oak leaves. I walked around my property and started snapping photos. This was a combination of about 5 photos that I used for reference. Once I started to paint it morphed into an experiment with negative shapes. It was very enjoable to paint.

Newpost Falls

2009-04-03T05:19:00.000-07:00

18" x 24" acrylic sold

The Newpost Falls are on the newpost river in northern Ontario about 2 hours northwest of the Abitibi Canyon. This is just the top of these falls, it is about a 100' drop. It was something to see especially when I wasn't sure if there were any bear or moose around. I hope to do more paintings of the trip I made there, took tons of photos. I am hoping to get there again this summer.

16" x 20" acrylic painting sold

This is the painting I was working on when the photo of me was taken. It is just below the log chute looking down stream. In the spring the place where I was able to set up is under water.

12" x 16" acrylic painting $225

This is one of the paintings I was able to do on site at the Hawk Lake log chute. It is about a 5 minute walk down river from the chute, then looking up river. A nice place, even had a bench to park all of my painting gear.

Painting at the Hawk Lake Log chute

2008-11-14T04:20:00.000-08:00

This is me painting on site this past fall. I live in such a beautiful area it is hard to chose where to go to paint. I went with another painter, Karen Sloan (she snapped the picture). We had a great day and I was able to do 2 paintings that day.

Spillway on the Matagmi River

2008-11-14T04:08:00.000-08:00

10" x 10" acrylic painting, $150

I spent most of the past summer in northern Ontario and this is one of the places I visited. It is near the hydro dams on the Matagami River north of Kapuskasing.

'Summer Sunset' Remi Lake, Ont.
8" x 10"

I worked this painting up from a photo that was taken one evening when my husband and I were fishing. (I don't think we caught any thing) The sunsets on the lake where our cottage is are great. The fishing isn't bad either.

'Spring is here - Almost'

2008-05-07T05:30:00.001-07:00

16" x 20" Acrylic sold

This is a painting of the ravine behind our house. It was one of those days when it felt like spring was just around the corner. I grabbed the camera and went out to get some shots. I like to paint the contrast between the ground and the snow.

'The Roots of Summer"

16" x 20"

Acrylic

$450

These are roots of a very large pine tree along the trail at the Hawk Lake Log Chute. My husband and I went hiking there when the log chute restoration opened. An interesting spot with lots of history. I wanted to capture the cool 'greeness' of the place.

This little boathouse on the north shore of Boshkung Lake, like many abandoned things has been torn down. I am glad I was able to paint it before it was gone.

'Along the Trail - Frost Center 2' is actually along the hiking trail at the Frost Center on St. Nora's Lake, not far from where I live. My husband, son and I were hiking here on Thanksgiving weekend of 2006. Maybe it was the company and or the place, but it made an impact on me. A very beautiful spot.
