Earth Day


I painted a landscape today in celebration of Earth Day. I haven’t painted a landscape in a long time and certainly not in acrylic. I used the colours of early spring and kept it loose by using one large brush.

Today is a good reminder to take care of what was given to us.

Sunday Afternoon Read


It's been a very cold spring. Today the sun was out and despite the cold wind, there were people out enjoying the day in their winter parka's.

Evening Jog


I love the fact that the evenings are getting longer. This is another painting of the oceanfront walk near our place. When we first moved here, I would walk here almost every night. It’s time to get back into the habit, not only for the exercise, but also for the painting inspiration.

Coffee Walk


















A few blocks from where I live there is a beautiful walk along the ocean.

On sunny, Sunday afternoons it becomes busy with an array of people. There is a place for dogs to play, a place to fly kites, a place to hang glide, and many places to enjoy the view and each other.

These paintings are small studies of two of those people.
