'Elemental'



22" x 28"

sold


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.

Ravine Light

'Ravine Light' acrylic 36"x36"       sold
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'


'Rock Face' acrylic 36"x36"      sold
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.

Kennisis River - just below Log Chute


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.

Painting at the Hawk Lake Log chute

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.

'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.

'Abandoned Boat House - Boshkung Lake'



11" x 14"

oil

sold

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.
