Great day for a picnic!



Today was a beautiful day for the picnic! This is one of the paintings I sold today. A familiar scene in my area. I'm very excited to start the commissioned piece I was asked to do today as well. Thanks to those who came out in support!

Busy Busy!



This week has been very busy! I spent the week participating in the PAA Artists' Residency. This painting was painted plein air at a private beach on Calumet Island. The scenery was stunning! Tomorrow I will be showing at the Picnic in the Park in Quyon, Quebec.

The Sun Seekers



Today is hot. Really hot. It's a good day to finish up paintings that have been sitting, almost complete. Sunflowers bring a smile to my face. :)

Looking Out For You



This is a 10x14 painting of poppies. People love poppies, I've come to realize.

Calm on the Ottawa



During a day on the water last week, I took several pictures of nature on the Ottawa River. I took an idea from them and came up with this painting. There are several beautiful places along the Ottawa River... and I hope to paint another one soon.

Seasons End



Finally finished the touch ups on this painting. I had taken a picture of this last fall while on a drive. It's done in acrylic on a 16x20 gallery canvas. Corn season was over but it made for a great picture.

Picnic In The Park



I've been busy lately getting ready for Quyon's Picnic in the Park, finishing up paintings and final touches. I'll be bringing some pieces to show the community. Should be a fun time!

A Long Journey



Yesterday, I sold this painting to a couple from France. I'm so pleased! My work is now held internationally and can be found in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and France.


The weekend was filled with beautiful pieces of art and wonderful artists. I had such a great time! Thank you to everyone for your support. xo

Paper Article




I thought I would share the newspaper write up on my show at the Stone School in Portage-du-Fort, Quebec. I met some very talented artists!

Life Fulfilled





I sold this painting today at the Coronation Hall in Bristol, Quebec, of an elderly woman in Guatemala. I took a picture of her selling avocados in the market, when I was there. I fell in love with her face so I painted it!






.... I will miss her.
