Working on a new canvas "Arbutus, Snow Scene #1"
|
Welcome to my website and studio!My medium is usually acrylic and I paint on canvas and water colour paper. I started painting in my early 20's mostly for my enjoyment. However, as the years progressed I started to take my art more seriously. I have taken many workshops over the years, learning about composition, colour relationships, various mediums and always, I was told to "paint what moves me". Devloping my own personal style of painting has taken time and is on-going, but I strive with each canvas to capature with paint, what I felt, what I want to "say" to you, the viewer. I want you to experience the same excitement I feel when a composition presents itself. To capture on canvas, in a simple and imprestionistic style, the natural beauty of a scene that "won't let you go"!
I love colour and the way the rays of the sun can make a simple object glow, the transparency of colours, the reflections of light and the many colours in shadow. Since our recent move to Vancouver Island, I am surrounded by spectacular West Coast scenery. Capturing the sights, sounds and moods of this breathtaking country has become a new challenge. I hope I am up to it! I welcome your visits to my web site and to my studio in Nanoose Bay.
