Western Islands, Georgian Bay PAINTING OF THE MONTH · Oct 6, 10:51 pm

…. and this is how it finished!

Also known as “Cory’s Cove”, inspired by an amazing young boy named Cory, who visited the gallery last week. Cory saw the work in progress and liked it just the way it was (a boy after my heart who enjoyed the ‘rawness’ of the strokes and pencil marks). You know who you are Cory, and hope you like the final piece.

Also inspired by an amazing ‘field trip’ last summer to the Western Islands … a group of Islands seemingly in the middle of nowhere, unprotected and raw!

This view is looking back towards ‘mainland’ – gone from sight is Giant’s Tomb near Awenda Park.

Silver Peak at Dawn - PAINTING OF THE MONTH - AUGUST 2011 · Aug 30, 04:50 pm

This piece is entitled “Peak at Dawn” and was inspired by a very early morning hike to Silver Peak in Killarney Provincial Park. Pastel like blue and yellow hues warmed the rock as we hiked around the highest peak in the Park.

Isla Holbox, Mexico Carribean - PAINTING OF THE MONTH · Jun 20, 04:46 pm

Isla Holbox is a beautiful little Island in Mexico – a special place for my sister Cathy and her fiance, Dennis … so while they were there last year, she took this photo – amazed at how this tree just sprouted from the sand – and she envisioned one of my paintings.

So upon their return, they commissioned this piece. Big supporters of our work, I think this is piece number what, 10? It’s amazing to have family support.

I have to admit, it was a bit tricky and gave me some challenges but I love it and hope to see this magical place in person!

Thanks Cathy and Dennis!!!!!!
