-A DAY IN MY LIFE-

Painting has given me the opportunity to travel to places far beyond my expectations.  It is a thrill to capture on canvas with my paint brush the beautiful scenery I experience!  I think it is the best job in the world!!

Painting in the windy prairies, 
can be a challenge.


Bull River, British Columbia

According to my friend Jeannette, there was never any traffic on this road....but after several hours of logging trucks and construction trucks, I had eaten enough dirt to last a lifetime!!  But it was just the "right" spot for the scene I wanted to paint...

Lost Dog, British Columbia

Lost Dog, British Columbia

 You never know what can happen "on location".  On this day, a gust of wind came up and my wet painting fell face down in the gravel.  Added a lot of nice texture to the paint!! 


Kimberley, British Columbia

Painting in style on the tee box of the signature hole at the Kimberley Golf Course.   Luckily no flying golf balls hit me...but I did get a lot of strange looks from the golfers!

Painting on a field trip with the Grade 6 & 7 class from 
Steeples Elementary.  Too much fun!!

Golden, British Columbia

Golden, British Columbia

Sometimes it's a bit of an effort to get me to just the right place and I'm very lucky to have good friends to help me out.  I had never seen the Wetlands near Golden and it took a ride on an ATV, then I had to be carried over the train tracks, then down a long stepped ramp, and out onto the floating dock on the water.  It was so worth the effort & I am so inspired!!!  What a sight!  Paintings of the wetlands will be coming down the pipeline soon....
