it in them. I have added the dewdrops on the leaves with a clear gel."

Contemplation
"I knew I just had to paint these surfers and it proved more
challenging than I anticipated. They were added to the painting with
layers of gel, painted with a matte finish."

3 Red Leaves
"This painting started as one in full colour like my others, however at
the request of my son, who the painting was being created for, it
became less colourful and more abstract. The room it was designated to
had one red wall, hence the red leaves. It looks fabulous mounted on a
black background and remains a favourite of mine."

Melting Glacier, Tracy Arm

actually completed it twice before I was fully satisfied with the
effect I was trying to achieve."

Sunrise Over
the Fraser River, BC

my painting surface. Somehow with the silhouettes and the vivid colours
it doesn't seem to be lacking that element."

paintings include the photograph, mounted and framed, from which it was
derived.) |

Golden Sunrise, Osoyoos,
BC
"In this acrylic, textured painting
I tried to capture the golden essence of the actual sunrise we were so
fortunate to witness. As in so many of my paintings, they look better
"in
person" than on the internet."

paintings include the photograph, mounted and framed, from which it was
derived.) |

Winter Storm Watching,
Tofino, BC
"This is my very first painting and
the only other one I have ever done on an untextured painting surface.
It still remains a favourite and constantly surprises me considering
how little I knew when I painted it."
This painting is not for sale. |

Shades of Blue, Kalamaka
Lake, Vernon, BC
"This was the first painting I did
with the colour blue in it. Up until then, I had been painting three
different beach scenes from Tofino, all during the winter storm season.
I really tried to capture the texture of the bark in contrast to the
aqua-blue water and deep blue sky."
The dimensions are 16" x 20" and this framed painting is for sale.(All
paintings include the photograph, mounted and framed, from which it was
derived.) |
 |
Rocky Steps,
Tofino, BC
"This is my second painting and my
first real attempt at using texture. I really enjoyed adding pumice and
fibre to the acrylic to achieve the rough texture I saw in the
photograph. I want my art to be "touchable" and adding the texture
seems to make it so."
The dimensions are 14" x 18" and this framed painting is for sale.(All
paintings include the photograph, mounted and framed, from which it was
derived.) |

Burnaby Lake 2006, Burnaby ,
BC
"I just felt a need to paint this scene recently. Since discovering
texturing techniques, I of course had to use them in this painting and
using "artistic licence", I omitted the rail fence seen in the photograph
that it came from."
The dimensions are 36" x24" and this framed painting is for sale.(All
paintings include the photograph, mounted and framed, from which it was
derived.) |
