Glorious Poppy Sway-9X12
I captured this lovely scene while painting en Plein Air south of Calgary at the Coutts Heritage Centre. This field of poppies as drawn me back to visit it year after year.

Down the Path of Peace-36X24
This was created from an inspiration during a hike in the amazing southern Alberta of the Rocky Mountains called, Waterton National Park. This was a very exciting piece to create in the studio as I recalled our three day adventure in the area. Using oil and cold wax, allows for the use for many tools to move the paints and create lots of textures. The lush green undergrowth off set by the dead standing trees was such a contrast.This is one of those paintings a person needs to see in person ! I have always loved the larch trees in the fall, they seem to celebrate the change of seasons with their magical golden glow.

Summer Afternoon Drive-18X36
In the incredibly beautiful foothills of the Rocky Mountains along a windy road in mid summer a couple of years ago, I pulled over and sketched this lush green landscape. The emerald and multiple shades of green captured my eye, with the distant grey blue mountains. I’ve driven this Southern Alberta road west of Nanton many times, and often thought I need to stop and capture this peaceful scene. I didn’t finish the painting on location, as it was simply way to windy. I did a small 6 X 12 of this rolling foothills painting and then decided to make it much larger in oil and cold wax on cradled canvas.

Winter’s Shadow-12X12
This painting was created from a photo I took on a walk on our farm here in western Canada. It’s a grove of aspen and birch trees in a wooded area just north of our home in western Canada. I so love the changing of the seasons as I enjoy my walks in this location. The late day shadows falling across the snow drifts is one of my favourite things to paint. Winters are long here and finding the beauty in it helps me to appreciate the season so much more.

Warm Winter Glow-12X12
This lovely winter scene is capturing the warm afternoon tones that can be seen from a window in one of our buildings on the farm. I painted it from a photograph I took one winter. I so enjoyed the mauves and snow laden pine trees in a forested area. Most of my oil and cold wax paintings are done with palette knife and other tools rather than paint brushes, which lends to the impressionistic feel.

The Babbling Brook-8X10
I painted this beautiful creekside scene on a late summers day on location ( en plein air) on the shore of the Dogpound Creek. It was such a pleasure to paint this in oil and cold wax, while listening to the peaceful sound of the babbling water going by. The large stately pine trees casting long afternoon shadows on the dark blue and mauve water. Horses grazed near by and I’m sure they were baffled at my presence behind my easel.
