This painting was inspired by a photo I took while out walking my dogs, everyday when I am out in nature I am inspired. I take so many photos, each one has something that caught my eye. It would take me about 100 years to paint them all but I just keep clicking.

FEELING SASSY

on black 3/4 inch wrapped canvas
$450.00

The inspiration from this painting came from a photo I took in my garden. I love starting with a black canvas, things seem to fall into place immediately and then you can just keep adding detail.

I am going strong with the sunflower theme. The more I paint them the more I love painting them. There are so many varieties and everywhere I go I seem to see them, from the markets to the farms, even on the side of the road...so uplifting.

Sunflowers have got to be the most feel good flowers, until I started painting them I had no idea how many varieties there are.

Every time I get the photos for a new commission sent to me it is like opening a gift, the wheels start turning on how I will approach the painting, especially when it is such a sweet face.

There is something so sweet about daisies, every year under our Japanese maple this group of Shasta daisies appears, perfect white petals and a deep yellow center...simplicity at it's best.

PEONY COMMISSION

This is a commission I did for a couple to be reminded every day of the beautiful peonies that grow in their garden every year, the vase was a wedding gift from their grandfather.

SWEET SONGS

Once I start painting I am always amazed at the amount of detail that is on these tiny beings.

Today when I started painting this chickadee I heard a thud on my window, a small bird was lying on the ground, I picked him up and put him in the large planter under the Japanese maple. He was there for quite some time just resting, eventually he hopped up onto the ledge of the planter and flew away...it was definitely a bird day.

PET PORTRAIT

This gal was such a pleasure to paint, seniors always have that little extra character.

I tried to really focus on keeping this painting soft. Because I enjoy painting bold colours so much this was a challenge but I am really happy with the outcome. Sometimes less is more.

PRETTY FABULOUS

Who knew that tulips would be one of my main inspirations for painting, they just keep on giving.

GLORIOUS DISTRACTION

24 x 24 inch oil
on 2 inch wrapped black canvas
$600.00

This is another overpainted canvas, there is so much more depth when you are working on something that from the start already has so much going on.  It is a little more difficult when you first start mapping out your painting but then things just start coming together.

$95.00

I haven't painted in 5 days which for me is a long time. Sometimes it is good to take a break and clear your mind from all things creative...that is all I ever think about. I think the time off actually made me look at things a little differently.

NEVER LET ME GO

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

BACK IN PARADISE

6 x 6 inch oil
on 1/8th thick gesso board

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

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.
