There's so much locally for painters, I don't have to go far from my home for great subject matter. I'm inspired by the daily painters...something to aim for!. Acrylic 6 x 6.

winter snow...

Sunlight casting shadows on an old wooden fence...lots of deep snow. this painting was inspired from a photo I took behind my cousins farmhouse just north of Toronto. Acrylic 8 x 11.

Carmel Window

I love to travel...anytime, anywhere! I am forever taking pictures when I don't have time to sit and paint. This little painting is from a photo I took in Carmel, California about eight years ago. I think the house was a local attraction...very charming...I loved the blue building with the red flowers... nice combination. Acrylic 5 x 7.

Autumn Colors

I live a short walk from the shores of Lake Ontario. This was the scene a couple of weeks ago....there is now a thin layer of snow covering the fallen leaves. acrylic...30 x 30.

Forest Trees

Sunlight filters through the stillness of the deep forest - acrylic - 24 x 24.

summer sand

One of my favourite places is Florida...any time of the year is fine...rolling waves and miles of sandy beach....great inspiration. Acrylic - 24 x 30.

ocean waves

I love the sea... I could spend hours watching the waves and dreaming the day away.... The best way for me to attempt to capture it is by painting on a large canvas...this one is acrylic.... 30 x 30.

Winter...a great time for painting and writing and thinking about how much I love the summer!
