THOUGHTS
While I love painting landscapes and other representational works, I also find abstracts challenging and exciting to create. I enjoy working purely with shape, line, colour and texture to create a balanced work which catches the viewer's eye. Over the next week or so I plan to photograph and post more of my abstracts, but in the meantime, here are a few. They are in a variety of media - oils, acrylics and water colour mono prints.

Entering the technological age - new paintings

Hello!
I have been creating art, and showing it, for many years. Up to now, all my shows have been in traditional venues. I am now trying out new ways to get my art seen, and this is one of them. We'll see how things go.

As part of my first blog, I've decided to  post some photos of paintings I've been doing based on space. The first painting, Nebula One, is large (3 ft by 5 ft), the second, Nebula Two, Heart of Orion is 30 " by 36", and the final one, Stellar Hatchery, is 24" by 30". Each of these works is destined for my solo show, "Skyscapes", which will open in May 2015 at St. James Church in Dundas, Ontario. The church, as part of its community outreach, doubles as an art gallery. It is a lovely, light filled space.
