Lovely surprise today! A friend let me know that the Federation of Canadian Artists is using my "Reminiscence" painting of Ballet slippers to advertise its upcoming Calendar competition and exhibition.

The January days are getting longer and the sunsets are getting brighter here on Vancouver Island. Beautiful views from my deck.

My next painting is nicely taking shape. I love painting boats. There are so many lines, shadows and reflections to consider and if you don't get them exact it is really noticeable, but l love them once they're finished.
Stay tuned

It appears that besides Quebec sending a couple down for the recent fires, we keep a couple of these down in California for the winter in case they are needed.

Starting to add colored gazes to the Sunflower piece. This is the easiest and most rewarding part of grisaille painting. It just seems to rise off the canvas and turn 3D.

I love the light at differing times of day along Patricia Bay, not far from where l live. It's been the subject of various paintings over the years. Here is another take on it:
