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, |

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... |

This was a great trip staying at French Creek Marina. It was awesome to watch the tide come in and out daily! |

Painting at White Boar Lake. It was an "interesting" hike in there, but so worth it!

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!! |

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! |

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 and I am so inspired!!! What a sight! See painting called "Columbia Wetlands". Photo is with friends Lynda & Moe. |

An inspirational trip of a
lifetime! |
