Hello and welcome! My posts will include original paintings, sketches and some of my teaching content.
Remembering both of my grandfathers who fought in WW1 & WW2. Here is a quiet field of poppies to honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who have served to protect us.

As the days get shorter, and the nights longer, I'm embracing #moon scapes. Have a splendid late autumn #evening.

A playful take on the theme #vertical. This is a demo on how to paint #glass from my class last week in oil pastel.

The #glow of a country field at golden hour. One of those magical moments when time, place, and light come together.

Happy Thanksgiving Canada.

Thought I would share this phoenix rose to mark the end of my PhD odyssey. Not sure what comes next.

Artmaking as thinking in action.
My PhD research shows how brain, body, and materials interact in the creative process to construct meaning through embodied and material engagement. #PhDDefense #ArtisticThinking #EmbodiedCognition #MET #AcademicSky

Happy Saturday! This is the view from the place I called #home for many years. It is where I found serenity and joy.

I came across these steadfast poplars marking the continuity of time in a #summer field. As the #floating clouds swept by, I thought about the cycles of life.

Happy Labour Day weekend! Marking the end of summer through a little #gouache sunset with an #OrangeSun.

Not sure if it counts for #stunday.😄

Bonne rentrée à tous!

Morning Light. Not my usual approach to depicting nature. This is my flirtation with abstraction for #ForestFriday.

Happy flowerday! 30 hours of painting reduced to 20 seconds 😊 I work in silence. I find much of the music added to videos can be annoying.

There’s something magical in this ad inviting Americans to visit Québec’s Eastern Townships.

It feels like us — open arms, quiet beauty.

In Québec, we welcome not with grandeur, but with warmth.
Maybe, now more than ever, our neighbours need love.

The best inspirations are when I #GetOutside and explore the neighborhood. A little summer sketch of a church in St. Lambert.
