There is something so special about white lilies, so many shadows and twist and turns to their petals...and ahhh the scent.

The photo for this is thanks to my husband. It is the CPR lookout just past Qualicum beach. the scenery is every changing depending on the time of day. I loved the light on these trees surrounded by so many lush greens.

I changed the palette a little on this one, adding more purple which is such a fun colour to paint with.  

BACK IN PARADISE

$85.00

This is another beautiful Vancouver Island scene.  I started this painting with a cadmium red light wash on the panel.  Doing an underpainting always adds to the interest, especially when the canvas is so small.

WANDERLUST

Today is another glorious day, I only seem to want to paint flowers and birds.

IT'S RAINING FLOWERS

S'S

I decided not to be over-detailed on this painting and I like the outcome. We all tend to think we see more than we can actually see, especially when we are looking at art from a distance. The looseness really gave this little painting the feeling of movement.

ANOTHER PERFECT

The photo for this painting is our neighbours view. With greenery in abundance dancing against the water it is perfection.

IT'S BUNNY TIME

A beautiful day in QB so it seemed fitting to paint a bunny. Although they think my garden is their restaurant I still love them.

GROUP CHAT

So I brought out the big paintbrushes for this big canvas.  After painting quite a few 6 x 6 inch landscapes it was really helpful to set up this painting. I used an indian yellow for the underpainting which just warmed everything up against all the blue.

BELONGING

Ok, I admit that I am addicted to painting landscapes. They are the perfect subject, I just keep colour blocking and the scene appears. They are forging because nothing is the same in nature when it hasn't been touched by us humans. Every cedar is shaped differently with their jagged and and all over the place branches every which way. They are all unique but somehow enhance each other... a testament to belonging.

SPECTATORS

These beautiful scenes from just a little drive from where I live. There truly is beauty in everything.

This sweet gal was just up the road from where I live. When I take my dogs for a walk we drive right by and sometimes I am lucky and the cows are gathered by the fence for a little morning gossip.

I HAD A DREAM

A spectacular day on Vancouver Island. I used a pink underpainting to start this piece, I enjoy how it gives the scene a little more interest without taking over.

ARBUTUS SIGHTING

Another photo that my husband took on one of his daily hikes. The Arbutus tree is one of my very favourites, the twists and turns of the bark and it's warm colours is so beautiful.

DALLAS ROAD

I have been noticing the sky and the amazing cloud formations lately. So today was cloud painting day. I started with a pink underpainting. Another favourite colour lately is radian violet, it adds a little more interest to the sky.

FLEETING MOMENTS

Glorious view overlooking Lasuieti Island from Parksville. Vancouver Island is the best place to be when the sun is shining and spring is just around the corner.

TAKE IT ALL IN

Ok, living on Vancouver Island makes it so easy to find painting subjects. Lately it has to be cedar trees, especially when they are gently swaying over the water.

ALL THE LADIES

on 1/8th inch gessoboard
SOLD

I have really been enjoying painting these landscapes, there is something so familiar about cedar trees. I kept to a limited palette, makes things so much simpler.
