It’s been a busy few months, to put things mildly! Not a single thing went as planned this year. Not the weather (we were forecast to have a hot dry summer….we got cool and VERY wet) Not the harvest….Harvest is usually done by the end of September….we just started at the END of September. Not… Read more »
I just finished this painting and called it “The Ugly Ducklings” I always liked that story, and the young swans definitely would not win any beauty prizes, but grow into the most beautiful of birds. It was an interesting challenge to get the glow of light on the feathers of the Mother. The white was bright to… Read more »
I was juried into the artist guild of “American Artists Professional League” This week! I’m very honoured to have made it in.

We went with the Pacific Whale Foundation’s expedition as the funds go towards whale research and the naturalist on board gave… Read more »
You know, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to take off on a trip…I was in the painting groove and have a busy schedule that was all coming to a head; but despite all of that…I’m glad I went. I can’t say that going to a desert was really high up on my “to do… Read more »
