A taste of summer has finally returned after experiencing a string of fall like days.
Nature’s Story It is another scorcher today. Although it is early morning humidity can be felt in the air. A gentle breeze assists in dashing flies away and cooling one down. Nature’s offering today was a long forgotten rose bush with an indescribable scent. It has been left to grow wild peeking up amongst the [...]
Hi Everyone! Here is my latest ” Plein Air Inspirations” video of my newest study done in Powell’s Pt. Park, Nova Scotia. It was a gorgeous summer morning and while scouting for a subject to paint I looked up in the sky and saw the moon still hovering above. I love the look of the [...]
It felt like coming home when the park reopened and I returned to paint its beauty. I easily stepped in time with its rhythm and began to recall emotions I had experienced there previously. There is something very comforting about painting in a familiar location and at the same time exhilarating knowing that unexpected views [...]
New Spring Arrivals! I would like to share some new work I have been doing that I am really jazzed about! A few weeks ago I started painting miniature paintings ranging in sizes from 3x2in. to 4x4in. They are painted on linen covered archival panels and can be ordered from Art Boards. I discovered that [...]
Hi Everyone, I made this small video from my Powell’s Point Park Series I am working on. Hope you enjoy it Let the tranquility of nature transport you to a realm of peacefulness.
Sweetness In Friendship It is a gorgeous September morning causing one to recall past languorous summer days. Birds noisily flutter in and out of the old apple tree as a gentle breeze appears intermittently. I have come to paint in my best friend’s backyard while she is traveling. Like the apple tree our friendship has [...]
Sending Holiday Cheer to everyone! I hope everyone is getting along well with their Christmas preparations. I’m trying to beat the clock as usual! I have lots to do yet before the 25th. This is always a very busy time of year. I am presently working on a Christmas still life I set up in [...]
Late Autumn It is well into autumn now. Leaves have been stripped from trees baring skeletal structures beneath. Glimpses of areas unseen before, make their appearance between negative spaces once occupied by greenery. Mauves and grays have overtaken the land as nature prepares for her slumber ahead; while straw colored grasses soften the appearance of [...]
Within the Breeze The wind is unforgiving today. It gusts about whipping grasses and foliage relentlessly. The ocean air permeates the space with its salty breath. Fall has suddenly arrived with its bright clear colors and crisp air. I have found a sheltered corner on the beach avoiding some of the wind’s power. Memories of [...]
On Thursday I was received an unexpected surprise. On the way to a medical appointment with my family we stopped at the A&W in Truro for breakfast. The Chronicle Herald (A local newspaper in Nova Scotia)was strewn on top of one of the tables. I suddenly had an urge to check the paper–something I don’t [...]
A Harmonic Existence Every year I gleefully anticipate the arrival of wild rose bushes. They brighten summer greens and cheerfully inhabit the surrounding space. Their nature is pleasant and easy going. Bobbling in the breeze they sway about effortlessly. Resistance is set aside as they adjust to nature’s ever-changing state. Without resistance an existence of [...]
