Saanich Fields

Reminiscent of Italy.

I drive by these fields pretty much every day,

 but yesterday they really caught my eye!

Shades of Gray!

Venice

Witty's Lagoon

I love all shades of gray!

Scary...

I found this skull deep in the woods at Tofino's

Week-end Inspirations!

My week-end was spent enjoying the textures, 

colours and shapes of  fall

 and

spending a day with my smallest muse!

Late Summer

I finished this acrylic painting on the week-end, between cooking, eating, visiting, eating, and more visiting!

Waiting....

Since I'm going to be a grandmother very shortly, I dusted off some knitting needles and made this little hat.

Monotype "Valley Sunset"

This is a monotype, I did last June, I didn't blog it because I wasn't crazy about the picture and kept thinking I would take a better one, well it never happened and the painting is now ( along with a few other paintings) at the "Chiropractor for Life" offices in Langford. I did this monotype after driving through the Fraser Valley during twilight, the light was very nostalgic for me, having grown up in the valley.

Colours of Autumn

Art in the Garden



 Some photos from last month when some friends took us to visit the Botanical Gardens in Tofino!

The rains begin... and color harmony!

An example of split-complementary colors (as seen through my studio window), orange and purple with a bit of green.

Happy Birthday Timothy!

Thanks for showing us Vancouver!

Into the Fog

We walked down to the water this afternoon, to watch the fog burn off. 

Good-Bye Summer

 Well, life isn't getting less busy and I'm finding this September (which is my favourite time of year) flying by!!

Aubergines

I tried making baba ghanoush for an event this past week-end, but I ended up not serving it. It didn't look at all like the picture.  I am much happier with the painting and I'm glad to say that it will be in the "Food for Thought" Show at the Coast Collective, Sept 21 to Oct 9
