This blog documents my creative journey with watercolor, mixed media, & oil painting. I'm enjoying myself immensely and hope you find something uplifting in my paintings and/or their stories.

Flight of Fancy [16'x20', mixed media on 1.5" gallery wrap canvas]
This is my submission to the Federation of Canadian Artist's upcoming juried exhibition called "Muse". What is it that drives you to create? We all have a muse...whether we're creating a perfect report for a school project, the perfect Saskatoon berry pie [yum!], or a piece of art.
Sometimes I just feel like throwing colour around so I make "starts". This canvas began months ago with a lot of random colours and shapes. One day I picked it back up and imposed a grid system and, as I doodled and glazed I began to see a blue shape emerging.... a "Flight of Fancy". You can see this piece at the FCA gallery on Vancouver's Granville Island from June 6-18, 2017. If you're in the Vancouver area drop by and check it out!
