Trees


Living on the coast brings much inspiration to artists of all mediums. Walks in the woods has provided many photo taking opportunities and images to paint. It is a blessing to live on the coast of BC.

This is one of my favourite tree views in the forest. I painted it last summer.

 I love arbutus trees. They are a popular tree to paint. I think this is a kind of abstract version.

Present Tense show at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery June to July 2025

Image
 I am so excited to be part of the Gibsons Public Art Gallery show for members. Every year there is so much amazing work displayed. This year, I displayed Frida the Third a sculpture for the first time. She was the third because the first one blew up in the kiln and the second one's earring holes were too small to fit earrings. Frida third was many hours of work and joy. I am happy to announce she was bought during the show to a happy couple. I am so pleased someone loves her as much as I do. Adios my friend! I also put 6 Tiny pieces and two of them sold so I am also very please to have the continues support of my art in its many forms and mediums.     https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMYmmRGRKaE/?igsh=bGR4NGkwYWprMjE3

Dave's Sweater is Finally Done

Image
Having had technical problems with my computer for a month or more. I have not been able to post or add photos. So long over due is a blog about finishing Dave's Sweater. I was originally going to to knit it as a Christmas gift but then I  became amgitious to finish  it for his birthday July 6th. So with hard work I did finish it. I was working right to the last day sewing the sides together and fixing any loose ends needing finishing. I am pleased with the results, although I do want to bring the sides under the arms as they are a bit wider than I think ideal. It has been fun knitting a whole sewater as lately I have been doing small projects. I did find it hard having to adjust to the pattern and custom fitting it to his body. For example his arms are long and I needed to make them longer than the pattern. But I know that it is a good learing experience as a pattern is not made for everyone exactly so you do need to make adjustment.
