Welcome to My Painting World

I have been painting for over 20 years, mainly in watercolours. I chose this medium because I loved the light shining through the paper so most of my work is done in transparent colours.

I am very active in the art community here on Vancouver Island and I bring in International Artists to give workshops here twice a year. This is done through the Saanich Peninsula Arts & Crafts Society of which I am a member. If you are interested in seeing what is coming up click on the Workshop link below.

Since I live in the flower capital of Canada I do alot of florals but have recently branched out into combining my watercolours with acrylic and I really like the affect.

It is time to wish all of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very healthy, prosperous NEW YEAR!

I feel the years are going faster every year....

This started out as a very sedate street in Italy. At Tom Lynch's workshop he used mine on how to add drama and improve a painting. It was a shocker !!

This is a demonstration painting I did on Saturday at our local Artist's Christmas Show. I love demonstrating and did a typical B.C. scene.

The Tom Lynch Workshop is absolutely jam packed with information, tips and techniques Tom is a wonderful teacher and gives so much to each student. Everyone in the class is really getting their monies worth that is for sure.

I love his rich colours and I think I will be more aware of my centre of interest and the dark rich colours needed there.

I am afraid my painting has taken a backseat for the last few weeks but I have some new work in mind so watch out!
