3 Sisters Clouds – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. I tried to capture this amazing sunset we witnessed on the lake. The clouds formed 3 sisters mountain-like peaks above the horizon and the sky was on fire. So beautiful! I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a near fatal drowning experience in 2013, I realized just how precious life is and I wondered why I was waiting to do what I loved most. I just wasn't finding the time. It took a while to commi

Sun's Promise – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. I was inspired by a photo my cousin Lynn took. I tried to capture the beauty of the opposing forces of nature. The juxtaposition of the storm in the distance and the sun peeking through the clouds to light the fields. I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015.

Creekside – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. We pass by this creek every time we drive to our cottage. I have longed to paint it for years. I will have to do a large canvas of this one in the near future.

Alberta Sunrise – 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. I was inspired by a photo a friend took of a sunrise (used with permission), wherein the sky is on fire with the colorful promise of tomorrow.

Canola Fields– 4"X4" acrylics on masonite. This painting is totally from my head but influenced by the many golden fields of canlola we passed by today on our way home from the lake. Under clear blue skies, these fields pop with vibrant color. I tried to simplify again and was somewhat successful with the sky but got caught up in the details of the foreground. Despite that, it's a successful painting. I started painting one 4"X4" miniature daily on May 1st 2015. After a near

Wild Wild Rose – 4"X4" mixed media on masonite. I came across this wild rose on my morning walk today. I experimented with white glue again - with intention by following the outlines of the flower.

Drive By Painting 4"X4" mixed media on masonite. Visit the store on this site to purchase. I drive out to the country almost every weekend from spring to late fall and I see paintings flash before my eyes. We never stop as that would mean a delay, so I shoot out the window with my camera and hope for the best. Every now and then I capture the scene I long to paint. This is one of them. Beautiful Alberta sky, green farmer's field and trees marking the horizon. We live in a bea
